When Abby Sears was accepted into the journalism school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she had hopes of one day working for a public relations firm.
Then she did some work at the Daily Cardinal news desk and “fell in love with writing and reporting.”
A Madison native, Sears covered last year’s downtown homicide of UW student Brittany Zimmermann. Her reporting led to several appearances on Greta Van Susteren’s “On the Record” and a summer internship at Fox News in New York. And she is committed to the craft.
