Hi! My name is Caleb, and I am a senior communications major at Stonehill College. My passion for journalism began in 7th grade when I joined my school's video production club. From there, I began taking video production classes during my freshman year of high school, and in my sophomore year, I was part of a group that started a weekly, student-run news broadcast called Code Blue News. Being a part of this program made me realize that broadcast journalism was the path I wanted to take in life. I spent my junior and senior years as an executive producer for the show, getting the opportunity to lead our team and win numerous awards.
At Stonehill, I was a member of The Summit, Stonehill's independent, student-run newspaper. I joined the paper in 2022 as a copy editor, and in January 2024, I began regularly reporting for The Summit, covering campus news and events, and was selected to be the next editor in chief. During my tenure as editor in chief, I initiated the redesign and modernization of The Summit's website, recruited and trained new staff members, and updated the paper's policies and standards.
In my professional career, I have worked at Holbrook Community Access and Media for over five years. I started off as a volunteer before being officially hired as a production technician in July 2019. My primary responsibilities have included coverage of town government meetings and high school athletics. At HCAM, I also got the opportunity to work on a documentary about the Baird and McGuire superfund site in Holbrook. It is at HCAM where I developed a passion for the cable access television industry, providing the citizens of Holbrook with transparent coverage of town government meetings, events, and high school athletics.
