In my years at WHDH, I have worked with more than a dozen interns, and I have never met, and don’t expect to meet, anyone with Abbey’s passion for journalism. She is exceptionally driven and I have no doubt I will see her on television one day.

WERS News is now online, reporting the day’s top news every half hour in the morning, from 6 to 9 a.m. and evening, from 3 to 7 p.m…The news site, which took a year to prepare, was first put up in August 2009, said Lepiarz, who along with Web Editor Abbey Niezgoda lead an in-house staff of 25 members including seven or eight web writers and several reporters and anchors.

A coffee story submitted to CNN iReport by self-described multimedia student reporter Abbey Niezgoda is getting a lot of buzz on the site’s website today. As the time of posting, the piece is featured on the news giant’s homepage with nearly 25,000 reported viewings. …with good reason, it is very well done. Good job!

In the first 24 hours, the CNN iReport video was viewed by more than 25,000 people. Student producer Abbey Niezgoda was able to capture the salient points of a barista competition that is easily understood by a general audience – it is a great journalistic piece! The video will provide long overdue and well-deserved coverage and exposure for speciality coffee and the role of baristi to elevate the quality of coffee and educate the consumer.
The 2009 Gridiron Show was a great success at Hobby Center! Sponsors raised scholarship funds…congratulations to recipient Abbey Niezgoda.
