My name is Frank Robertson. I am a photojournalist currently working as the Multimedia Editor for the Chillicothe (OH) Gazette, a Gannett paper that is part of the Newspaper Network of Central Ohio.
I graduated with High Honors from South Dakota State University in 1995 with a B.A. in News-Editorial Journalism, during which I emphasized my studies around photojournalism. My minors were in Political Science and American Indian Studies.
