Wall Street Journal assistant managing editor Sarah Rabil sent out the following on Friday:
>We’re delighted to introduce you to the future of journalism: our 2020 interns. The bios they provided are impressive—and fun—to read.
This year’s class, as you know, will work a bit differently. Some interns will start in June and work remotely this summer. The rest are deferring to September, January or next June in the hopes we can have as many of them as possible working in the newsroom, alongside us. We still want to recognize each of them now for being selected for this highly competitive opportunity.
Thank you for extending warm welcomes to all of these journalists as they join us over the coming year.
Many thanks,
Sarah, Andrés & Megan

Nikki will intern with the video team in summer 2021. She is currently a rising senior at the Annenberg School for Journalism at the University of Southern California, where she majors in journalism with a minor in marketing. Nikki works as the executive producer for Annenberg TV News, USC’s local 30-minute newscast. There she has spearheaded coverage of Kobe Bryant’s memorial, the Saugus High School shooting and three hours of live coverage on Super Tuesday. Most recently she has shifted her student-led newsroom to continue remote production amid the Covid-19 pandemic, without missing a scheduled show. Nikki has previously interned with Investor’s Business Daily, worked directly with CNN alum Jessica Yellin and with NBC4 under Emmy Award-winning producer Mary Harris. In her free time she enjoys reading new wellness research studies, specifically focused on the power of the mind. |
