The Institute is thrilled to welcome four talented emerging journalists who will join us this summer as interns, reporting for our daily media newsletter, supporting our professional development trainings, and creating specialized journalism projects.
Jaise King is a rising junior at Boston University, where he is double majoring in journalism and political science. King writes for the Boston Political Review and serves as co-music director and DJ for WTBU, the university’s student radio station. His interests in data and investigative journalism, particularly around education issues in the Deep South, will guide his work at the Institute this summer as he looks to sharpen his data journalism skills and expand his professional network.
Jennifer Nehrer is a recent graduate from USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, where she worked for The Daily Trojan and USC Annenberg Media. Nehrer has a longstanding connection to the Institute, where one of her articles was featured in The Latest back in 2020.
