He started as a breaking news reporter covering public safety, higher education and weekend events, and later assisted editorial functions as a desk producer at the newspaper. While writing a live music column, Brendan discovered his passion for covering arts and culture in the Twin Cities. He has also served as a digital content producer at WCIA Channel 3 News in Champaign and as a police and county government reporter for The Commercial-News in Danville.
