Northland Pines Journalism Students Bringing Hockey Coverage

Wednesday afternoon Wisconsin Prep Hockey got an email from Jocelyn Monge, a junior at Northland Pines High School, and one of the leaders of the journalism group of the NP Eagle Eye News, a student journalism project of the Northland Pines School District.

Jocelyn was wondering if Wisconsin Prep Hockey would be willing to share NP Eagle Eye’s coverage of the Northland Pines hockey teams.

After checking with the Northland Pines coaches to get their approval, the answer was obviously “of course” we would let them post their coverage of the Northland Pines hockey teams. It didn’t hurt that Jocelyn is also a team manager for the Pines boys team and their statistician.

Eagle Eye’s coverage is also being carried to various degrees by WJFW News Watch 12, Border Bulletin and Vilas County News-Review.

Teacher Josh Olivotti oversees five members of the journalism project at NP Eagle Eye: Jocelyn, Kate Mendham, Vanessa Niemczyk, Lexi Nelson, and Corrinne Justice. They partner with the Video Production class at Pines high school where teacher Scott Subach oversees Josh Lacko, Jon Adkins and Nick Dean.

After high school, Jocelyn is looking to get a degree in statistics with a minor in journalism, which would make her well positioned in the newly growing field of data-journalism.

We wish her and everybody else at NP Eagle Eye News the best of luck.
