Mike Johnson, sports editor for the Kenosha News since 2018, announced in his farewell column Sunday that he will be leaving the newspaper.
Johnson joined the Kenosha News as a sports reporter in 2004, shortly after graduting from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he worked at the Badger Herald student newspaper. At the News, he covered countless high school regional and sectional games, and many state championships — as well as the NFC Championship Game that turned out to be Brett Favre’s last as a Green Bay Packer.
Although he didn’t include details about the position, Johnson noted he starts a new job on Monday — a role that will allow him to continue telling the community’s stories, he said.
