Meet 812 journalist Shelley Hoffrogge

Reporting for The 812 this summer

(MILAN, Ind.) – Some might be surprised by this. There is only one full-time reporter for The 812 and his name is Steven Harmeyer. 

During the summer months, we are blessed to have a few interns who return home from college or other endeavors.

One of those interns is Milan grad Shelley Hoffrogge who currently serves in the National Guard as a military police officer.

She was a student journalist for The 812 last year and is working as a journalist as she awaits her upcoming deployment.

After the military, her goal is to become a veterinarian but has also found a passion for news reporting. 

“Journalism, especially writing, was always a thought in the back of my head and now I have found a way to do every kind of career path possible, including journalism,” Hoffrogge said. 

Her focus as an 812 journalist is to spotlight small businesses. She encourages any small business to contact her.
