About the Contributors
Erin Trapani, Advanced Broadcaster/Journalist
I am currently a senior here at Marist High School. I’m excited to be contributing for a fourth year to MHS Media and MHS Studio Magazine! I have been an officer of our Broadcasting Club for two years, and now serve as president of our club! I have been MMEA nominated, and I have been awarded Best Host ‘24, ‘25, and ‘26, Best Newscast ‘25, ‘26, and Best Horror Film ‘26. I am an aspiring broadcast journalist and plan to pursue this major in college with a minor in political science. Along with learning from our Emmy award-winning journalist, Ms. Carlson here at Marist, I have also attended “J Days” camp at DePaul University twice, learning from Chicago-based professionals like Carol Marin, Ben Bradley, Lisa Parker and Chuck Goudie. In my free time, I enjoy participating in the Marist Theatre Guild, vocal performance, and spending time with my friends.
Jack Bullington, Advanced Broadcaster
I am a junior at Marist and I took Broadcasting 1 last year as a sophomore. I am a varsity baseball player and football player. Outside of Marist I enjoy watching baseball and football as I am an avid Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Bears fan. After high school I am planning on playing college baseball or football. My favorite part about taking broadcasting is learning about what goes into the news and being able to use my creativity.
Eddie Dougherty, Sports Editor/Advanced Broadcaster
I am a senior here at Marist High School and I am currently in my second year of both broadcasting and journalism. I won the best podcast award last year for Broadcasting 1. I am proud to be the Sports Editor, as well as publish news articles here, on our award-winning news site. I currently play football here at Marist. I am the president of Student Council, a Student Ambassador, and a member of Broadcasting Club, Investment Club, and MHS Media Press Club. Outside of school I love to play golf and watch football. I am a big Bears fan and watch them every Sunday. I want to attend college next year and want to major in the sports media field. My dream is to work in sports after college.
Marko Corona, Advanced Broadcaster
I’m a junior at Marist who plays rugby and stays involved through the Investment Club. I first got into broadcasting during my freshman year and I’m excited to build on those skills again. Outside of school, I like to go fishing and spend time outdoors. I’ve also been learning day trading, which keeps me sharp and interested in the markets. After high school, I plan on going to college and continuing to study finance.
