Bob Carew: Distinguished Alumni Award Recipient
 Robert (Bob) Carew attended UWFond du Lac in 1973-74, worked for a year full time in his family’s business, and then returned for the 1975-76 school year. He then earned a journalism degree from UW-Oshkosh.
Bob’s notable career in the newspaper and printing business began over 38 years ago. Throughout high school and while attending UW-Fond du Lac, he worked at Action Advertiser and Action Printing.
He assisted his father, Jim Carew, founder of Action Advertising, Inc., and other family members by setting type, designing and selling advertising, collecting and writing news and running a printing press.
With his family, Bob created a community newspaper which became the first free newspaper in history to win back-to-back General Excellence or Best of Show awards from the Association of Free Community Papers as the best free newspaper in North America.
Gannett purchased Action Advertising, Inc. in 2002 and Bob remained as president and publisher at Action and also served as publisher of The Reporter. He retired in 2007 and remains active in the local community.
