The Photo Edition 2019

Thanks for reading The Post this year and following with photo staff throughout! I am so incredibly thankful to have been able to work with such a immensely talented staff. A big shoutout to the Freshman that have stepped up this year, we wouldn’t have created the content we did without them. This has been a year full of laughter and growth, and I can’t wait to see what photo staff has to come

Into the Field

This year, Post photographers worked with writers on long-form stories that let them go into the field to discover stories up close. Photographers traveled in emergency trucks, visited homes and sat in drug courts to allow the readers a chance to see for themselves what is going on around us.

Extinguishing the Wildlands' Fires

Jacob Kovolisky, senior firefighter on Wayne Engine 611, works on putting out a fire in Nelsonville on Thursday, Oct. 18, 2018. “My favorite part about my job is (responding to fires),” Kovolisky said. “What other person can say that they get to go and work in the woods? Some people say that my job is better than your best vacation. I love doing it every day.”
