Paving Paths in Journalism

Tiana Molony is an Indy intern who has been turning out stories for us. The Santa Barbaran is setting her sights on the Big Apple and is already setting roots in New York journalism while she’s here at home and working on her master’s degree.

What was the most recent story you worked on? What were the best parts about covering it and writing it up?

I recently finished a profile on Shannon Loar-Coté, who created the local modeling agency Hello Gorgeous Models. I enjoyed meeting her in person and learning about her backstory. I almost always conduct in-person interviews if I can, especially when writing profiles. My sources trust me, and it’s my responsibility as a journalist to convey them accurately, which is still possible over Zoom. I just enjoy meeting them in person!
