Kari Andren is a general assignment reporter for The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa, covering several West Shore municipalities and the West Shore School District.
She earned her M.A. from the University of Illinois at Springfield in public affairs reporting in May 2009 and a B.A. in journalism and political science in 2008 from the Robert Cook Honors College at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Previous journalism experience includes covering Illinois state government in the Springfield Statehouse for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Pennsylvania state government from the capitol newsroom in Harrisburg for The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Harrisburg Patriot-News, the Allentown Morning Call and Capitolwire.com.
Good solid background at IUP, and Ill. has an excellent PAR program. You should be snapped up quickly after graduation–and be subject to being exploited like the rest of us in journalism. I would like to post an article on your site–Pa. politics. Story is NRA v. Humane Society, animal cruelty v. politicians, and DeWeese is a major player on this. (As for me? –former nspr editor/reporter and current J-prof. at BloomU.)
