Follow https://x.com/ThePenOfEliHi all, my name’s Eli!My official job title at WGN is ‘Digital Supervising Producer,’ which essentially translates to me being a newsprint-style journalist who works for a television news station — meaning I write articles for WGN’s website and help get our news content out across social media, all of which I’ve done since joining the digital team in June 2022.My work at WGN is split between covering Chicago-area sports (primarily the Bears, followed by the Cubs, White Sox and other Chicago sports), enterprise writing on Chicago-area trends and topics, and breaking news articles on traditional subjects (crime, business, politics, etc.).For example, when it comes to sports, I’m a member of the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) and I write a column every Monday (or Tuesday or Friday, depending on the week) during the NFL season following Chicago Bears games, in addition to collaborating with our on-air staff to bring you stories on the Bears that fall outside the lines of a traditional box score or recap.You can find my latest column here.Before joining WGN, I earned a Masters in Science of Journalism (MSJ) degree with a Sports Media specialization from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, where I spent my time learning from renowned sports journalists like J.A. Adande and Melissa Isaacson.Before Medill, I worked as an assignment editor, web producer and on-air talent at WOOD TV8 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where I helped create breaking news content on-air and online after earning a B.S. in Multimedia Journalism from Grand Valley State University.When it comes to where I call home, I refer to myself as a Chicago transplant, born and raised in the southern Michigan town of Jackson. The first 18 years of my life revolved almost exclusively around playing, watching, reading, and studying the game of baseball. So, as you might imagine, BIG baseball guy too.If you’re wondering why there’s no photo of this mysterious human being up top by my name, I’m not sure either. Maybe I missed WGN picture day or something. Until then, just imagine Kronk from Emperor’s New Groove. Same voice, same height, just a tad bit skinnier and not as tan.Interested in reading more of my work, or just want to shoot the breeze over Chicago sports?
