U.S. Students to Work on Arab Papers
The National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations named six U.S. journalism students on Wednesday to work as interns this year at English-language newspapers in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Deanna L. Hodgin, 28, a graduate student at USC’s School of Journalism, was among the six winners. Hodgin completed her undergraduate studies at Mills College in Oakland and also attended Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. While enrolled at USC, she has worked at the Los Angeles Business Journal, the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, the Santa Monica Outlook and other publications.
Other winners were Dick Doughty, University of Missouri; Christine Hauser, Columbia University; David Kovaka, Syracuse University; Peter Sisler, University of Colorado, and Nicole Watts, University of Washington.
The internships, which have been offered for three years, were designated this year as a memorial to Joe Alex Morris Jr., a Los Angeles Times correspondent killed during the Iranian revolution in 1979. The National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations is a nonprofit educational institution in Washington.
