To some, Jared Fields is a rookie at the Reporter-News.
However, his two years of experience as a freelancer make him more of a jack-of-all-trades for the paper.
Fields, who finished college at Abilene Christian University in May 2008, began working as a general assignments reporter in the middle of June 2008. But in the previous couple of years, Fields has covered desk work, designed pages and covered stories for the sports section.
The Paducah native worked on his college newspaper's staff for three years and has been a stringer for many other papers around the state.
At ACU, Fields placed in the top three of the nation as a Society of Professional Journalists national finalist in the feature writing category and received other state awards for his writing.
Other than work, Fields doesn't have a wife, 2.5 kids or a pet and enjoys spending his free-time with his friends, reading, going to concerts and just hanging out.
