Alex Gary joined the Beloit Daily News last month as a reporter. In his new role, Gary will cover city government, education and feature stories in the Beloit area.
It’s a homecoming of sorts for Gary, who graduated from Northern Illinois University and started his journalism career in 1994 with the Daily News. He went on to join the Rockford Register Star, where he worked full time for 16 years and then another three as a freelancer. During his time in Rockford, he covered police, courts and city and community news, and he served as business editor. Most recently, he worked in development for a small business accelerator, fundraised for a local history museum, and worked as a teacher for the Harlem School District in Machesney Park.
