O'Rourke Media Group — owner of Metro Philadelphia and 11 newspapers serving communities in Bucks and Montgomery counties — has expanded its sales team with the addition of Alicia Burgos and John Zysk, two longtime media professionals who bring decades of experience and deep ties to the Philadelphia market.
Burgos joins Metro after working with leading regional news organizations, including The News Journal/LocalIQ and The Philadelphia Inquirer. She is known for her consultative, relationship-driven approach and her passion for supporting local businesses and helping them strengthen their connection to their communities.
She said she was drawn to Metro’s strong local footprint and its growing digital reach through O’Rourke Media Group, and looks forward to helping expand the brand’s presence and impact across the region.
Outside the office, Burgos is an avid Philadelphia sports fan—especially of the Eagles—along with a traveler, home cook, and enthusiast of board games, true crime, and history documentaries. She also serves on the Board of New Castle Little League as marketing and communications manager.
Zysk brings 28 years of experience from The Philadelphia Inquirer, where he built long-standing relationships with advertisers and helped local businesses share their stories and reach targeted audiences. Throughout his career, he has focused on community-driven advertising solutions centered on trust and results.
A lifelong Philadelphian and sports fan, Zysk enjoys spending time with his wife, three children, and two dogs when he’s not working. He is a devoted supporter of the Eagles and Phillies and is known for his strong commitment to the clients and colleagues he works with.

OMG's 11 monthly newspapers are mailed to 100% of households in communities in Bucks and Montgomery counties.
