Title: News Intern
What attracted you to UCSB’s new journalism minor, and what would you say to students who may be considering it? I found my passion for journalism at 15 years old, and when it became part of the Professional Writing minor in 2020, I immediately signed up because I wanted to gain knowledge from experienced journalists like my track coordinator, Nomi Morris. If you’re a curious individual, have some writing skills, value journalistic integrity, and can handle working on a deadline, then the journalism track is the perfect option.
