A fun & productive summer: Thanks to our intern, Ella Stern

by 1 Comment

As summer winds down, we wanted to publicly thank our first-ever Natick Report summer intern Ella Stern for a fantastic job.

The recent Natick High grad, and former editor of the Natick Nest school newspaper/news site, covered a wide range of issues for us, from a theatre review to the school system’s Progress Pride flag decision to a town heat mapping project. We appreciated the fresh perspectives she brought to our site through her interviewing and writing.

See all of Ella’s posts.

We wish Ella the best as she continues her studies, and hopefully new journalistic pursuits, this fall.

Thanks so much to all who have made financial contributions to our internship program, including lead sponsor Truly’s.

Things promise to get zany and over-the-top enthusiastic as only local TV broadcasts can deliver when Boston 25 News visits Natick on Aug. 25 to go live for its Zip Trip series. Boston 25 News is celebrating its 20th year of these summer morning visits to local communities, highlighting sights, sounds, history, and more.

Naturally, Natick Common will be headquarters for this event, with setup starting at 3:30am, and airing scheduled for 6-10am.

Here’s the scoop on our Natick & Swellesley Report Summer Internship Program

by Leave a Comment

We’ve set up the Natick & Swellesley Report Summer Internship Program this season both to bolster content on our local news sites, but also to provide experience to interns interested in journalism. While some say it’s quiet around here during the summer, we know otherwise.

Bella Gonzalez and Hannah Langenfeld are interning for Swellesley, and Ella Stern is interning for Natick Report, with some crossover likely.

Thanks so much to all who have made financial contributions to the program, including lead sponsor Truly’s, which has expanded its support of young people in our community by generously backing our interns.

We look forward to our interns’ stories this summer.

Meet Natick Report summer intern Ella Stern

by 2 Comments

Hi everyone! My name is Ella Stern, and I will be interning for the Natick Report this summer!

Ella Stern

 

I just graduated from Natick High School, where I was editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, the Natick Nest (which has some articles republished in the Natick Report!). I love to write about local news because I am interested in learning more about local politics and making a difference on a local level. This summer, I will be focusing on accessibility efforts in Natick, but will be covering other news stories and events as well.

I want to go into political journalism in the future, and I will be heading to Macalester College to study Political Science this fall. 

I can’t wait to learn more about journalism and my town, and hopefully meet some of you! If you have any questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to reach out at erstern10@gmail.com. 

Please help fund our Natick Report summer internship

We’re looking forward to having our first intern this summer.

Our intern, who we’ll introduce soon, will report and write stories, and learn about how Natick Report works. Among the assignments planned are to write about accessibility issues in town, cover events, and perhaps write about a few area activities that go beyond Natick.

We’ll be providing our intern with a stipend, but would love to get contributions from businesses and readers to help us better fund this position.

If interested in helping, please select the “Donate” button below. Thank you…
