M.D. Kittle is the education reporter for the Southeast Missourian.
His media career began in a little log cabin in southwest Wisconsin in the late 1980s, where he spent much of his wasted youth in radio. After a decade in news/talk and music radio, Kittle grew up and got a real job in newspapers. He joins the Southeast Missourian after nine years toiling in northern newspapers, including a freelance stint with the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel. He also has worked at a bagel factory. In this blog, Kittle will offer the stories behind the stories in Southeast Missouri education.
