Caroline Trowbridge (Assignment Director)

Caroline Trowbridge is assignment director in the News Center. She works with reporters, developing stories throughout northeast Kansas. She's been both a reporter and editor - and before returning to the News Center in 2007, she was editor and publisher of the Tonganoxie Mirror and Basehor Sentinel, weekly newspapers owned by the World Company.

Caroline has worked for the company since 1981 - taking a hiatus for two years in the mid-1980s to work for the Kansas City Business Journal.

When news isn't on Caroline's mind, birds likely are. She and her husband are birders. She also enjoys travel. And she is a die-hard KU basketball fan. But she also remembers crying when KU lost the 1969 Orange Bowl. She was young then. Very young.
