Kaytlyn Preitauer, a 16-year-old Gothenburg High School sophomore, job shadowed at The Times last Friday.

Part of her experience involved interviewing and writing what GHS students think about a legislative proposal to ban texting while driving.

Preitauer is interested in journalism because she said it’s a basis for writing books which she hopes to do someday.

After her experience, she said she likes the profession instead of just looking at it as a way to get into the book-writing profession.

She is the daughter of Terry and Chrystal Preitauer.
