Ethan Duran Joins Patch In Wisconsin

Hi!

My name is Ethan Duran and I am the new reporter/editor covering Tosa, New Berlin and Brookfield. I'm happy to report and investigate on issues in these suburban communities.

You can keep in touch with me through ethan.duran@patch.com. Feel free to share any story ideas, comments or questions you may have.

I was born and raised in Milwaukee and have lived there all my life. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Journalism at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee with a history minor on the side. I've written for the UWM Post and enjoy all sorts of independent media. Most of my bylines are with Milwaukee urban blogs or alternative weekly newspapers. I enjoy blogging and weekly publication culture immensely.

I will be covering all types of local news but I also hope to bring things like local business, arts programs and homegrown musicians into the spotlight while reporting here.

When I'm not at at my desk writing and reporting, I'll probably be immersed in some kind of web documentary, collecting records or enjoying a beer at one of the bars I regular at.

If you have any pitches, concerns or want to chat, reach out to me at ethan.duran@patch.com. Thanks for reading and I'm eager to get connected.
