Staff photojournalist Eric Engman has been a part of the News-Miner editorial team since March 1998. Originally from northwestern Pennsylvania, Engman received a bachelor's degree in 1993 from the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in English writing with a focus on journalism, minoring in film studies and B&W photography. His senior year he worked at the school paper as well as freelancing for a string of weeklies scattered through the suburbs. Realizing his passion for the visual side of journalism, Engman pursued an education more focused on photography and in 1995 received his master's degree in photojournalism from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communications while also working as a staff photographer for the school paper. The next year was spent working full-time, paid internships at newspapers in New York, Michigan, and Indiana before accepting his first full-time job at The Citizen in Auburn, N.Y. After 18 months, Engman made the drive to Fairbanks to take a job at the News-Miner, where he still enjoys serving the public and the friendly community, as well as spending his free time camping and canoeing with his family.
