KARE 11 Reporter Moving To Part-Time

TWIN CITIES, MN — Reporter Lindsey Seavert, who has worked for KARE 11 since 2012, is moving into a part-time, freelance position at the station. "Since becoming a mom of two kids who both have extra challenges, my life has drastically changed, but my calling is everlasting," Seavert posted on Facebook Tuesday.

"I still will be able to bring goodness and light into the world through new forms of storytelling, while soaking in more of that fleeting scenery—bus stop hugs and spelling tests, sticky fingers and Sesame Street, smiles I don’t see often enough."

As a freelancer, Seavert said she will be working on an upcoming documentary on Lucy Laney elementary school in North Minneapolis, "a gratifying project that has really changed my heart and shown me a new path forward in journalism."

She said will remain with the station at least until fall.
