South Dakota biz reporter moves to rapid response team

Trent Abrego

Trent Abrego, a business reporter for the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, has moved to the rapid response team as a reporter.

Shelly Conlon of the Argus Leader writes, “As of the new year, he now takes on the role of our rapid response reporter, handling everything from breaking news and criminal justice trends in our city, to explaining why the sky is a strange color the next time a derecho hits, to insightful community features or that weird thing that made South Dakota go viral.”

Abrego has been with the paper since July 2022. He previously was with the Aberdeen American News.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from South Dakota State University.
