Biography

I’m excited to be back home in the Chicago area.

Michael Geheren reporting for Scholastic News at the 2008 Republican National Convention.

I got my start in journalism in middle school. First reporting for a local park district newspaper, then for the Scholastic Kids Press Corps (here is my bio back then). In high school I was the first digital editor for our school newspaper.

Previously, I spent nearly five years at KELOLAND Media Group, South Dakotaā€™s #1 website and CBS affiliate covering South Dakota, northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota. The last position I held was a digital reporter, but spent time as an evening news, digital and investigative producer.

I am finally finishing my degree in media studies at Arizona State University at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications. (And that’s the way it is.)

I have a dog, two cats, I love to read (here’s what I am reading right now) and write. My favorite thing in life is to āœˆļø travel!

Please connect with me. Also, here’s a look at my resume.
