Reaching Out To Local Journalists

This year, I decided to increase Spartan Banner's network by communicating with local journalists in the greater Milwaukee Area. I first contacted the Milwaukee Press Club to see if there were any ways to get involved with their work. I was soon connected with Scott Meyers, a producer at Milwaukee PBS and a member of the Milwaukee Press Club. In this meeting, I learned more about the work that Meyers does and his career journey as a journalist. He also invited the Spartan Banner to attend the Milwaukee Birthday Party celebration and connected me with reporters and journalists at the UWM Milwaukee NPR station to work on a joint project.

Recently, I was also directed to reach out to Mary Fischerman, the publications director of the Brookfield Living and Elm Leaves Magazine. In our meeting, we discussed how the Spartan Banner could contribute a monthly article to the Brookfield Livings magazine. I just finished up my article for the April magazine. I am excited to continue working with my local magazine.

Learning More From Professional Journalists

I have attended several webinars through the Northwestern Medill School of Journalism. Through these seminars, I have gained a unique opportunity to interact with student journalists at Northwestern and professional journalists.
