If you’ve noticed a new face on Planet Detroit’s social media, it’s Maya Moore, who is focused on producing video as she interns with our newsroom for the summer.
Moore graduated from Michigan State University in May with a bachelor’s in journalism with a concentration in international reporting; a minor in philosophy and law; and bachelor’s in public policy with a minor in peace and justice studies.
She serves on the board of the State News in the student body position and previously worked as an intern at WKAR Public Media and as a student assistant in the Michigan attorney general’s office.
The internship is made possible by MSU’s Knight Center for Environmental Journalism.
