About Matt Standal
Welcome back!
Matt Standal – New Media Professional…
I am a Multimedia Journalist at Northland’s NewsCenter in Duluth, MN. My goal is to create engaging news videos that are both creative and visually stunning.
I report on diverse issues, including the status of Minnesota’s wolf population, a number of outdoor and endurance sports, and the status of under-represented individuals in Northern Minnesota and North-Western Wisconsin.

—————————————————————————
In 2007, I took a degree in English and Philosophy from the University of MN, Duluth. I then moved to South Florida to become a full-time scuba instructor. Here, I also worked as the staff writer for the Keys Weekly Newspaper.
After moving to beautiful East Oahu to teach diving in the Pacific, I soon qualified as a Master Scuba Diver Trainer (PADI MSDT). However, after living in paradise for a year, I returned to Minnesota and accepted a News Assistant position at KSAX TV in Alexandria. Here I received the training necessary to become a broadcast news professional.
