Ann M. Hynek

Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, I'm attending the University of Missouri to get a degree in Broadcast Journalism. My e.t.g. (or estimated time of graduation) is May 2005. The plan after that is to return to Denver...or, more likely, a smaller Colorado market. In the meantime, I have great interest in covering politics. I plan to continue work here at the capitol, whether it's for the radio or for KOMU. My favorite part of reporting on political issues is simple. When covering a politics, I find that there's always more to a story than what meets the eye. Underlying motives, personal interests, long-term goals... these are what keep it exciting.
