On May 14th 2018, I was fortunate enough to take advantage of a glorious opportunity. After a successful run as a Sales Team Leader with the AroundCampus Group in 2015, I managed to remain in close contact with Heidi Zeilinger, a Sales Recruiter for the Bloomberg BNA (BBNA) START program.

With my experiences testing Doodle the News among different target audiences, I’ve come to understand how this multiplatfrom hub could be most viable among elementary and middle school students. Our media literacy workshops have received glowing feedback from high school and college students, but most participants believed Doodle the News belonged to their younger siblings, …

The Public Diplomacy master’s class of 2016-2018 will be graduating in the next few weeks. Like their contemporaries in other courses in the Newhouse School, the biggest preoccupation of these students is to find that job (although maybe not the job of their dreams for starters).
