“It was great to see the newsroom from an intern’s perspective, and also have a fresh face in the newsroom. We are always looking to hear different opinions and ideas about how we do things. [Our intern] has the potential to become a great journalist, and it was a pleasure having her in the newsroom with us.”

“It was a pleasure working with [MDA intern]. During his time at Mamamia, he proved himself to be an incredibly fast learner. He picked up our processes and systems quickly, and always took on feedback on his articles with a positive attitude.”

“[Our intern's] ideas became more refined, more global, more Times-ian over the course of his time with us. Having an extra hand with reporting, ideas and writing is a positive aspect of this program.”
