Lindsey Seavert is an Emmy, Edward R. Murrow, and Alfred I. duPont award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker fueled by a calling to bring untold stories to light. ​The legacy of teaching in her family inspires Lindsey to use stories as a vehicle to empower, educate, create empathy and spark systemic change. Her parents were Minnesota public school teachers who gave her the gift of curiosity, so with a book and pencil often in hand, she began writing as a young child, and hasn't stopped since. ​She worked as a reporter at five news stations stretching from Northern Minnesota, Nevada, and Ohio before coming home to the Twin Cities and working as a reporter at WCCO-TV and KARE-11 TV. In 2020, Lindsey moved to a freelance journalist and filmmaking role after releasing her first award-winning documentary, Love Them First. ​The feature-length documentary, created at KARE 11, features a courageous Minneapolis principal fighting to get her students off the list of ‘failing’ schools while grappling with Minnesota’s vast achievement gap between Black and White students. ​The film, which received one of journalism’s highest honors with the 2020 Alfred I. duPont award, has been applied into collegiate educational curriculum, featured at national education conferences and utilized at countless education staff development workshops. The impact is only beginning, and Lindsey hopes to continue this advocacy, raising consciousness about the intersection of race and education, as she explores future film projects. Her work often focuses on women, families and children in underrepresented communities. Much of her inspiration comes from her late father, who spent his career advocating for teachers. ​Lindsey is dedicated to mentoring young journalists and volunteering in the Twin Cities community. ​Her hobbies include running, fitness and creative writing. The greatest chapters of her own story feature her family, her husband Ian, her son Stellan and daughter, Phoebe. They live in southwest Minneapolis.

I'm Allison Osberg, a multimedia journalist located in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. I started off as a photographer, progressed into video and now dabble in radio as well. I speak fluent French and basic Mandarin and have worked as an artist and journalist in both France and China. I am particularly interested in stories about the environment, globalization and art. I think the purpose of good journalism is to make foreign subjects and places accessible, personal, and meaningful no matter the listener. Video is so integral to the journalistic process because it's capable of communicating the complex, saying 1000 words per picture, 24 times a second.
