BTN has figured out what The News-Gazette already knew: Alex Roux has talent.
The Champaign Central and Illinois graduate has joined the network as social media producer. He started work in Chicago on Wednesday.
Roux is a former News-Gazette intern who spent the past three months working for the network as a free-lancer. "I had my hands in a lot of things," Roux said.
When a permanent job opened, Roux applied and was picked. He will be writing for the website, BTN.com, and serving as a digital content editor.
His busiest times will be during the college football and basketball seasons.
