Jojo Wertheimer, Digital Content Editor

Hi! My name is Jojo Wertheimer (she/her) and I am a Digital Content Editor for the Evastonian. This is my fourth year on the staff of the newspaper, and previously I have been an Arts and Entertainment Editor, Social Media Editor, and a staff writer. The Evanstonian has been an imperative part of my high school experience; I love the community, the energy, and the journalistic process. Outside of the newspaper, I have a part time job at Play It Again Sports Evanston and I am on the ETHS SHAPE (Sexual Assault Prevention Education) board. This past summer, I had the opportunity to intern with the local newspaper the Evanston RoundTable. I really enjoyed being able to explore different kinds of journalism and work on a local publication. In my free time, I love to hang out with friends and family, run and workout, read, listen to music, watch TV, and spend time outside, especially at the beach. I am also a big foodie and love to eat out around Evanston. I look forward to producing articles I’m proud of this year and hopefully continuing with journalism in my time past ETHS.
