Marist student will write features
The Current has hired a journalism student as a features reporter for the summer in partnership with Marist College in Poughkeepsie.
Lucy Baldino, a rising senior, is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in communication with a concentration in journalism. A native of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, she is a staff writer for Marist Circle, the independent student newspaper, and has been a pollster for the Marist Institute for Public Opinion. She will report for The Current through August.
The Current’s summer reporters from 2023 each graduated from Marist in May. Erin-Leigh Hoffman is a reporter for The Greenfield Recorder in Massachusetts and Mackenzie Boric continues to freelance for The Current.
The paid internship is made possible by Current members who contribute to our Student Journalists Program, which also funds high school reporters in Beacon and Philipstown during the school year. Applications for the high school program for 2024-25 will be accepted beginning in August.
