Current Position

Location: Green Bay, Wisconsin

Beat: Watchdog education reporting, including what's working in schools

Position:

We take a different approach from traditional school reporting, which puts a heavy emphasis on school board coverage. Our reporter uses a combination of techniques and distribution platforms to reach a diverse group of readers, including providing basic information primers (such as first day of school, preparing for standardized tests, helping with homework) in English and Spanish and tailoring that coverage to social media platforms with video, images, text and newsletters. The beat also includes accountability reporting -- how is the district meeting the needs of families? -- and solutions journalism highlighting successful approaches from other parts of the country.
