Boston University senior Grace Ferguson (COM\u201922) and graduate student Meera Raman (COM\u201923) were awarded paid positions to report for WBUR next semester. WBUR-FM is the largest of the city\u2019s three National Public Radio (NPR) member stations and is owned by the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ferguson will work with deputy managing editor Tom Wallack and is to receive a $10,000 stipend. She is a journalism major with an interest in investigative reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI listen to WBUR every morning. It\u2019s part of my routine,\u201d Ferguson said. \u201cIt\u2019s so surreal to work with them and be on the other side of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raman, who is earning a Master of Science in Journalism, will work in the iLab, the WBUR podcast team. She is to earn a $5,000 stipend and will help with the show \u201cEndless Thread,\u201d which focuses on riveting stories from the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raman said her career goal is to become an audio producer for podcasts and so she would like to gain more technical experience in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen I was an undergrad in Montreal, I did an internship at a human rights magazine and produced a podcast for them,\u201d Raman said. \u201cI fell in love with audio storytelling, so when I saw the WBUR internship, I wanted to jump right on it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
