Veteran journalist Chuck Nowlen has joined the Hudson Star-Observer staff in Wisconsin after three decades as a newspaper and magazine reporter.
A story on its website states, “‘I’ve always kept a special place for community journalism, either on the side or as my full-time job,’ said Nowlen, a Madison native who has also worked for Wisconsin weeklies in DeForest, Poynette, Edgerton, Cottage Grove, Deerfield and Cambridge.
“‘Covering business, government and feature stories in smaller communities has always appealed to me. There’s just something about it that seems more genuine and closer to day-to-day real life.’
“Nowlen moved to Hudson about a year ago after six years in St. Paul as a media consultant for magazines, newspapers and websites in several states, including Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
“During that time, he also took MBA business classes at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management and Metropolitan State University, while studying digital media at St. Paul College.”
