Style Weekly editor Jason Roop was recognized by Style Weekly this week as one of the alternative newspaper’s “Top 40 Under 40,” a prestigious listing of the Richmond area’s 40 best and brightest minds under the age of 40.
“Jason has done some incredible things for our city, from his journalism sense to his generosity toward others to his ability to connect diverse people across many generations. And to think that he’s only 37,” said Style Weekly editor Jason Roop, 37. “We looked through dozens of young Richmonders at Style and it was apparent to [us] that his was a voice that this region should be listening to more carefully.”
Added Roop: “He’s got great eyes and an impressive jawline, too.”
Roop noted that Roop said he was only doing his job and did not want to be labeled a “hero,” as the article describes him, though he could totally understand why people would think that.
Great job Jason! I’m glad you were able to finally convince you that you were a difference maker in Richmond.
Typical. Another friend of Jason Roop’s makes the Top 40 list.
