ABOUT

Abigail Landwehr is a multimedia journalist. This means that her interests range from anything the broad term covers: writing, photography, videography, design, and audio. She just loves the storytelling process the most.

She grew up in Wyoming, about an hour and a half away from Yellowstone- that also means enough "Wyoming doesn't exist" jokes to last her a lifetime.

After a year at Casper College, she graduated with an associate's degree in Multimedia Communication. She then moved to Columbia, Missouri, to finish her degree at the University of Missouri School of Journalism. By the time she graduated with her bachelor's, her 2009 Toyota Corolla had become well accustomed to making the road trip from Missouri back West over the summers.

She has interned at several newspapers, including The Oregonian, The Statesman Journal, The Eugene Register-Guard, The Missoulian, The Casper Star-Tribune, and The Powell Tribune. While in Missouri, she also worked for the Columbia Daily Tribune and ABC and PBS affiliates in Columbia and Kansas City.

In her free time, she enjoys the same things she does in her daily routine, including storytelling, carrying her camera around wherever she goes, hanging out with her black cat (The Tuscumbia Nightcrawler, or Tusky for short), and making obscure 90s sitcom references. Ask her about Frasier, she loves Frasier.
