Another season, another bunch of BINJ reporting interns. I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome our incoming summer cohort (size TBA as we’re still interviewing candidates)—already clearly another talented crew from a wildly diverse array of backgrounds, as has been typical of every group of interns since we started recruiting them years ago. Chris Faraone, John Loftus, Linda Pinkow, and I look forward to working with you all for the next three months.
And I also wanted to thank the 30 interns of our spring cohort. BINJ.News, the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism’s weekly “intern-driven” independent magazine, literally couldn’t function without all the excellent articles you and hundreds of your predecessors have all produced. It has been an honor to help you all complete your educations and we wish you every success.
Things are really tough now in the journalism industry, as I often discuss in these pages. But every intern cohort that moves on to carry the torch everyone on the BINJ staff has already carried for so long gives us hope for a Renaissance for our much-beleaguered profession.
Go get ‘em, new colleagues! You are now tribunes of the people. Do us proud.
