Gabriel Pietrorazio

Originally born and raised in Watertown, Connecticut, I am currently completing my senior year at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York and pursuing dual Bachelor's of Arts degrees in Media and Society and Political Science.

In the summer of 2018, I was hired as a full-time paid intern reporter at the Town Times, my hometown publication that is owned by Prime Publishers, Inc. The following summer, I returned to the weekly newspaper and assumed my title as the Thomaston town reporter throughout the summer of 2019. Additionally, I expanded our newspaper’s online digital and multimedia storytelling content by founding, hosting and producing the Town Times’ “Talk of the Town,” a weekly video-podcast program that was taped in at the Watertown Public Library.

In the early fall of 2018, I became an intern reporter for the Finger Lakes Times in Geneva and was also hired as a paid nightly sportswriter until late December of that same year.

At the beginning of 2019, I was selected to serve as an intern reporter for FingerLakes1.com, Inc., the region's largest digital online news-wire service, stationed out of Seneca Falls, New York. Following my internship, I was offered a freelancer news reporter position with FL1 News and since remained with the regional news outlet.

Currently, in addition to reporting for FL1 News, I am a student writer and photographer at the Office of Communications for Hobart and William Smith Colleges, contribute as a writer at The Herald, the Colleges' student newspaper and also function as the news director for WHWS-LP 105.7.FM, the Colleges’ nationally-ranked local radio station.
