At Goodday Mineral Wells, we wanted to start this new year with some pretty impressive announcements. The most exciting thing is Goodday Mineral Wells has three journalists as of today. Including myself, that places us with four writers total with conversations being had of adding more team members soon. Mineral Wells has a lot going on. We want to ensure our community is getting the coverage it deserves. Growing is the only option we have to achieve that.
Kellci Baker and Krista Allen have been involved with Goodday Mineral Wells for some time now, but now they are taking a more serious role.
Kellci is our lead sports journalist for the city of Mineral Wells. As you may have already seen, she covers sports photography as well. Her interest and involvement within the community and local sports teams made it a clear decision she was right for the role.
Krista Allen will mostly cover lifestyle articles, she has a heart for this town and its stories that she has been wanting to share with all of you for some time through Goodday Mineral Wells. We have an upcoming article series about the local businesses that have been here through the years and she will be taking the lead on it.
Makenzie Plusnick is the newest part of the team. She is a recent graduate from Tarleton State University, where she studied journalism. She enjoys writing about local government and education. Since her passion is in these subjects, she will be covering school board meetings and the other essential government meetings in mineral wells.
Those might be the main topics they will write about but these writers will be covering other subjects as well.
As we are a free publication to our readers and always will be, adding on the new writers was made possible by our great local advertisers, page sponsors, and wonderful donors that have helped with the start-up costs.
