Reporter Katherine Tomanek has joined the Western Colorado paper the Post Independent to cover stories in Roaring Fork Valley. She is a recent graduate of Colorado Mesa University.
Below is an excerpt from her Q&A:
What do you hope to learn and experience in your first year at the Post Independent?
I hope my first year as a reporter is filled with talking to new people and finding out just how the city works. I’m also hoping to experience Colorado in a new way from what I have before, and I can’t wait for it!
What is it about journalism that made you choose it for a career?
I wasn’t looking to be a reporter originally, but it’s a great way to combine my degrees. I wrote a few articles at CMU [Carnegi Mellon University] in the Horizon Magazine and I loved doing that. Some of the articles I had there were pretty heavy, and even though they were, I’m glad I did them. A couple of people came up to me after they were published and said they were glad I wrote them, and it helped me realize how important this job is.
