Caden Perry joined the La Crosse Tribune newsroom Monday as a general assignment reporter.

Perry comes from Portland, Ore., where he recently completed a photojournalism internship with Oregon Public Broadcasting. Before this, he graduated from the University of Oregon with a double bachelor’s degree in journalism and public relations with a focus in multimedia.

Perry worked as a freelance videographer and photographer through college and was admitted into the prestigious Charles Snowden Program for Excellence in Journalism in his final year. With this opportunity, Perry began covering Portland issues in city government, climate change and housing.

“We’re thrilled to have Caden join our team,” said River Valley Media Group Executive Editor Todd Krysiak. “He brings a broad range of skills that will serve our readers well and I know he’s excited to be in La Crosse.”
