Madeline Fuerstenberg (community journalist) is finishing her junior year in the UW-Eau Claire journalism program and brings a solid journalism background to the CVPost. She covers community events as well as writing feature stories and doing some in-depth reporting.
Throughout her senior year at Deerfield (WI) High School, Madeline interned with her hometown weekly, the Cambridge News/Deerfield Independent. The following summer she was a freelance reporter for the paper until she left for UW-Eau Claire.
There, she was a staff writer for The Spectator in her freshman year, served as the paper’s news editor as a sophomore and this year has been the paper’s editor-in-chief in both the fall and spring semesters. In the summers of both 2018 and 2019, she was part of a UW-EC team that conducted geographical and archaeological research at various Holocaust sites in Lithuania under the direction of Geography Prof. Harry Jol.
Andrew Janssen (webmaster), a UW-Eau Claire graduate, is continuing a family tradition of working in a field unrelated to his major. In addition to his work with the CVPost, he is a board member, webmaster and assistant editor at Northern Spirit Radio.
Andrew has lived in Eau Claire for 24 years. Computers have been a hobby since 1990, and he hand built his first web page in 1999. He worked as a paralegal at a local law firm for some three years before returning to school to finish his bachelor’s degree – which was in English Literature.
