Minnesota paper names biz/consumer reporter

Vicki Ikeogu has been named the business and consumer reporter at the St. Cloud Times in Minnesota.

John Bodette of the paper writes, “Ikeogu was heavily involved in campus media at St. Cloud State. She was a reporter, news editor and editor-in-chief at University Chronicle, the school newspaper.

“At KVSC-FM, she was a news host, disc jockey and assistant news director for the campus radio station. Ikeogu also was a producer for UTVS-TV, the campus television station.

“Despite all those activities and a heavy class load, she also found time to be the co-president of the university’s Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.

“In her new role at the Times, Ikeogu will be focusing on business and consumer news, a key topic in St. Cloud.

“She will be contributing to the Bright Ideas feature in the Sunday edition. Job creation, innovation and entrepreneurship is a big part of our business beat.”
