Hey, nice to meet you!
My name is Lauren Dukes. I’m 21, a senior at Maryville College, and a Writing and Communications major. For the next few months, I will be working as an intern with Mr. Timothy Hankins, assistant managing editor online for Maryville’s The Daily Times.
I’ve only been here a few short weeks, but there are some very exciting things in the works. In addition to keeping up with this “intern’s blog,” I’ll be helping out with the Weekend Mixtape as well as working on 7-10 multimedia projects of my own.
So far, I’ve spent the last two weeks talking with the leaders at the Church At Swank’s to get material for my first piece. The article is written, ready, and waiting so all that’s left to do now is take a few pictures, record a little video, and do some editing. I have to admit, I’m pretty excited!
There’s a lot of work ahead of me, so stay tuned for updates on my progress, as well as a few personal thoughts about how this whole journalism-business-thing works.
Good luck, Lauren! I will check on your progress and am looking forward to your ‘Church at Swank’s’ presentation.

Thanks so much! You guys were awesome to work with, especially as the feature for my first-ever multimedia piece for The Daily Times. I can’t begin to tell you how surprised I was when I saw that my article made the front page of the Sunday edition. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself.
