In the words of past interns:
“The highlight of my internship experience was creating an edition of the arts and culture newsletter on my own. I was able to choose both topics and sources based on my own research, pitch the articles to the editiorial team, reach out to sources, conduct interviews, and write the newsletter. I was awed by the trust and responsibility I received from the team, and loved making connections with my sources during interviews.” - Cora L., Journalist Intern, from Princeton University
