Katie Bean (Go! editor)

I'm the editor of Go!, a weekly features magazine highlighting some of the interesting people and neat goings-on in Lawrence. I've worked as a copy editor and page designer for the Journal-World since 2006. I previously worked as a copy editor and reporter for The Lansing Current. I am a former adviser for Angle, the Journal-World's teen advisory board, and am happy to talk to teens who are interested in journalism.
