Dan Haugen’s Summary
I'm a 2.0 Journalist. I went through journalism school just before blogging and other new media helped tip the industry upside down. Since then I've had a foot in both the print and online worlds, whether shooting video for newspaper websites or building and publishing my own community news blog. As a freelancer I've been published in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Twin Cities Metro, and several neighborhood newspapers in the Twin Cities.
Dan Haugen’s Specialties:
I cover airlines and medical technology for MinnPost.com. I also write regularly about energy, environment, green business and Minneapolis city politics and neighborhoods. Past coverage areas include transportation, public safety, federal courts and local music. My computer skills include basic html, css, and audio and video editing.
