Luke Zurawski, community news coordinator

Luke Zurawski is the community news coordinator for Lake County, which means that his primary job is to receive the information community members send in about anything happening in Lake County, edit it for publication, and run it in the Neighbor section of the Daily Herald's Lake County edition.

(If you have Lake County news to share, the best way to get it to him is to submit it online at www.dailyherald.com/share.)

He's lived in the suburbs all his life, aside from the years he spent at college. He went to high school at Loyola Academy and then attended the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign where he earned a degree in English. The English curriculum is divided between studying the language itself and studying books, and he sometimes joked that he was the only person there to be an "English" major and not a "Literature" major. So it's perhaps not surprising he ended up in editing.

He's been with the paper for over 20 years, and was the winner of the 2018 Administrative Award of Excellence, a recognition given annually by the Daily Herald.

The best part of working at the Daily Herald for Luke is the people he gets to work with (and he'd say that even if they weren't going to see this!). He enjoys tabletop games and science fiction, fantasy and other genre fiction (though more TV and movies than novels these days).
