Luke doing DJ duty at 105.9 the Radiator – the radio station at Big Heavy World
When Luke Vidic, a blonde-haired pony-tailed senior from Pennsylvania, graduates in May he knows he will be staying in Vermont.
The English major has just signed up to join a small weekly newspaper, The Barton Chronicle, as an assistant editor and general assignment reporter.
“Just meeting people is something I’ve learned I really like about reporting,” Vidic said. “I like listening to people, hearing their stories, talking with them and developing connections.”
Northeastern Vermont is often called the “Kingdom,” a more rural and forested place than Burlington where Luke has made his home the last few years. “One of the things I’m most excited about is just connecting with the area,” Vidic said. “I’ll be covering pretty much anything that could happen in the northeast kingdom.”
