Pandemic brings new challenges to community journalism

College students are expected to have at least one internship under their belt before they graduate. What happens when life gets in the way and that just seems impossible?

I was a full-time journalism student, involved at my university’s radio station while also working a part-time job to pay monthly rent. There was nothing left for me to give at that point. Nobody talks about the work-life balance when in college. We sit in class for most of the day and work through the night. We just have to roll with the punches on our own.
