We’ll pop across the pond for our next internship spotlight! Genevieve DiChiara spent her summer in the UK working for TCO London. Hear from her about the opportunities she had!

“During my internship, I contributed to editorial research, copy-editing, transcription, awards campaign research, and long-form editorial projects while gaining valuable insight into the fast-paced world of media and communications. A highlight of my experience was working on projects for their three magazines: Huck, Little White Lies, and Sandwich. I researched trends, developed story ideas, and contributed to editorial planning for future issues, giving me a firsthand look at how creative concepts evolve into published content. Every day strengthened my research, writing, and critical thinking skills while allowing me to learn from an incredibly talented team.”

Blimey Genevieve, that sounds like a great internship!

SJMC student Bailey Vergara and Assistant Professor Bingbing Zhang recently published an article in the peer-reviewed journal, Journalism. The piece, "Value-motivated use of generative AI among student journalists: Practices and risk management in college newsrooms," examines how student journalists working in college newsrooms actually use GenAI in practice, or how they navigate its associated risks while upholding journalistic values.

Congrats Bailey and Bingbing!

Our next internship spotlight takes us to The Bluegrass State! Collin Carrithers worked for the Hoptown Hoppers in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. We’ll let him tell you in his own words what his experience was like!

Throughout the summer, I was the voice of the Hoptown Hoppers as their PxP Broadcaster! I traveled around western Kentucky and parts of Tennessee with the team to call home and road games. We played around 6 days every week, and I got to connect with the players every day and share their stories with the fans. This allowed me to try different things while on-air and really fine-tune my on-air voice and presence, as well as grow my style of storytelling. We played trivia, interviewed players on the road, and had a ton of fun every game! I was also in charge of running the broadcast, cameras, scorebug, and anything else the broadcast requires. Go Hops!

Collin knocked this internship out of the park!

For our next internship spotlight “we’re going to Adventureland!” Isabel Thier spent her summer at Iowa’s oldest continuously running theme park! She’ll tell you more about all of the things she got to do at the Home of Iowa's Best Thrills!

“I spent the summer working as the Food and Beverage Marketing Intern at Adventureland. In this role, I took on a wide range of responsibilities, from designing signage and menus to creating labels for various locations throughout the park. I also had the opportunity to contribute to event planning and ex*****on. I loved that no two days looked the same — the role kept me engaged with a variety of creative and hands-on projects.”

The thrills of working at an amusement park may be over, but the thrills of SJMC are just around the corner!

For today’s internship spotlight, we’ll be back in Iowa’s capitol city! Sam Peterson spent his summer working for EMC Insurance. Hear from him about this engaging experience!

“This summer, I've had the opportunity to serve as the Community Involvement Intern at EMC Insurance, making an impact from day one by supporting partnership events like the EMC Dam to DSM and the Iowa High School Musical Theatre Awards presented by EMC. What I've really been offered is a seat at the table, getting to contribute to decision-making and learn the strategy behind publicity and community campaigns. Alongside event support, I've helped coordinate partnerships, assisted with community initiatives, and worked on projects that strengthen EMC's brand and outreach. It's been a rewarding experience getting to combine organization, creativity, and community engagement while learning how corporate involvement can make a real difference.”

Keep up the great work Sam!
