Working Journalist Event Features Star Tribune Reporter

SEPT. 29, 2006—The University of Wisconsin-River Falls journalism department will hold its annual Working Journalist Seminar at 7 p.m. on Oct. 12 in the Blue Room of Rodli Commons.

Guest speaker Pamela Miller is the faith and values reporter at the Minneapolis Star Tribune, where she covers trends in the faith culture, breaking news in religion and writes profiles and other stories.

Miller graduated from high school in Lake City, Minn., and from the University of Minnesota with degrees in journalism and anthropology. She earned a master's degree in English from the University of Minnesota a few years later. Prior to joining the Star Tribune 18 years ago, she worked as a copy editor and reporter at the Duluth News Tribune and the Anchorage Daily News.

The Working Journalists Seminar Series highlights the richness of diversity within the journalism field. Each semester the journalism department brings to campus professionals who represent a variety of perspectives or reporting experiences involving race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion, disability or economic status.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Journalism Department at 715-425-3169.
