The Press Times has added staff writer Lea Kopke to its newsroom, the Green Bay newspaper announced last week.
Kopke, who grew up in the area and graduated from nearby Bay Port High School, served as an intern for the newspaper last year. Her current position as staff writer is funded by the Microsoft Journalism Initiative.
