Hey all…
As you may know, we finally hired a photographer to fill the shoes of Kristyna Wentz-Graff who moved on to The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Well, after about five months the person we hired decided to leave us and photojournalism entirely. That being said, I’m happy to say we have hired our most recent intern Michael P. King. He starts in late June or early July, after he graduates from college. He might attend the WNPA convention, so please welcome him to Wisconsin! Thanks…Dan.
