McGowan joins MAP

Kelly McGowan joined Mid-America Publishing this week as a regional news editor for the Hampton Chronicle, Sheffield Press and Pioneer Enterprise.
A native of Johnston, she recently finished her time at Iowa State University with majors in Journalism and Spanish.
At Iowa State, she wrote mainly about the College of Business and the ROTC programs as a reporter for the Iowa State Daily. She loves reporting and is excited to become a part of this community. 
“We are excited to add Kelly to our staff at the Chronicle, Press and Pioneer Enterprise,” said Ryan Harvey, President and CEO of Mid-America Publishing. “Her strong writing skills and vibrant personality will allow her to connect with sources and readers, both through her day-to-day interaction, but also in her writing. She will work closely with Nick Pedley, Travis Fischer and Kristi Nixon to provide one of the strongest writing groups in the area.”
McGowan will spend the majority of her time in rural Franklin County and southern Cerro Gordo County.
