| Mr. Nick Dettmann works for the West Bend Daily News and came in to Pathways to talk about how his job works. He writes articles for the sports section as well as special events and he edits the top reporters’ segments for the newspaper. He talked about some of the famous athletes he has met including Brett Favre, Clay Matthews, and Shaquille O’Neal, who he claims is as funny in real life as he appears on t.v. He remarked about the emotions that sometimes come out through a sports story, such as covering this year’s Boston Marathon and reflecting about last year’s tragedy. Dettman says the hardest part about his job is, " ...the internet. It makes our job go 24/7, all the way around the clock. If there is information people want to know, we have to get it." He shared the struggles of his job, but also the successes. His crowning achievement was publishing his own book 2 years ago.
