Former The Reporter photo editor Akeem Brunson has landed a full-time job as a multimedia journalist for the CBS station in Fort Myers, Florida as part of WINK-TV.
He moved in August to Fort Myers to start his position.
Brunson, who worked at The Reporter during its inaugural year in 2010, said his reporting roots at Miami Dade College North Campus planted a seed for his growth in journalism.
“The Reporter started my passion,” Brunson said. ”It prepared me for starting a story and tell stories in the most effective way possible and truthfully, of course.”
Before working for WINK-TV, Brunson, 27, worked at the Sun Sentinel newspaper in Broward and at CBS 4 Miami as a videographer.
