KSTP-TV news anchor Jessica Miles, a Brainerd-area native, joins her media
director husband, Cory Kampschroer, on Thursday, Aug. 16 at Central Lakes
College (CLC) to discuss “What’s Happening to Broadcast News?” The Center for Lifelong Learning at CLC is hosting
the one-hour program which starts at 4 p.m. and will be followed by a half-hour
for questions. It will be held in the Music Rehearsal Hall (E471) at CLC’s
Brainerd campus.
Miles, who has been with 5 Eyewitness News in the
Twin Cities since 2003, anchors the weekday evening news. She grew up in Lake
Shore and graduated from Brainerd High School. She earned her bachelor’s degree
from the University of Wisconsin.
Miles has earned one Edward R. Murrow Award for
her work.
Kampschroer joined Hubbard Broadcasting in 2010
and is digital media director for KSTP. He oversees digital content for
KSTP.com, the station’s media brands, and all of KSTP’s community websites. He
had been an anchor-reporter for WCCO Radio.
The couple will discuss how network news is
changing in light of social media, technology, and business bottom line. Miles
will reflect on growing up in the Brainerd area and the influences on her
career choice in journalism. The working couple will cite aspects of the
challenge for high-profile anchors with a growing family.
Admission is free for members of the Center for
Lifelong Learning and $6 for non-members. For information, contact Bev at
