Brian Jaeger’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Here's what a former co-worker said of my writing: "You remind me of Mark Twain in Roughing It—meandering and funny and colorfully anecdotal. Wonderfully, though, you write with a light that Twain did not." Since I've never read Twain's Roughing It, I'll take her word for it. I'd also never say that about myself. I usually simply say I'm a good writer, and I want others to come along for the ride.

As a journalist, I'm really more of a columnist. As a columnist, I'm more of a blogger. As a blog…

May is School Board Recognition Month

|
By Brian Jaeger

Hello Monticello Community. As we close in on the end of the school year it is my honor to share that May is School Board Recognition Month. We are very lucky to have some hard working, positive, and student-centered school board members in our school district. We have had many important issues to consider over the last year and seeing this group listen to opinions, consider all the options, and make responsible decisions has been a real positive for our school district.

I know LCMS churches are losing out to mega-churches, and maybe the extra-large church isn't really a Lutheran thing. There are some LCMS churches in America with over 3,000 baptized members. However, I thought it was interesting to note average attendance percentage with these Lutheran chuches. The LCMS church we attend has about 520 baptized members with 230 coming each week. We'll say 45%.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Writing satire for Real Wisconsin News.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, but it was before my time as a real writer. Maybe up until 5th grade it's what we had in the house. A couple of school assignments.

How is social media changing news?

It's not really news unless social media presents it as such, at least not to most Americans.
