  1. Very impressive Maddie. Your inclusion of “takeaways” gives this reader a sense of your positionality and this is appreciated.

  2. Maddie, I appreciate your insight on the potential impact of local papers disappearing and the element of trust.

  3. Hey Madison! I actually also completed a remote reporting internship this summer, so I’m excited to see your summary of your experience. Are you from the community you reported on, or were you previously familiar with it? If not, how did you prepare to avoid committing, as you mention, “parachute journalism,” which I agree is a huge problem?
