Ammy Sanchez, who served as The Reporter’s editor-in-chief during the 2021-2022 school year, was selected as an intern at WLRN—South Florida’s public radio station.
Sanchez, who will begin the 12-week internship on Sept. 21, will record, edit, pitch and write stories.
“It’s exciting,” Sanchez said. “They get to mold me at this internship. Whatever they teach me, is what I’m going to take with me as a foundation.”
Sanchez began her journalism career at The Reporter in 2020 writing for the news, sports, forum and briefing sections. During her tenure, she earned a first-place award in humor writing and a second-place honor in feature writing from the Florida College System Publications Association.
The 19-year-old has also been selected as a 2022 finalist in the Best Profile category by the College Media Association and a 2022 Reporter of the Year and Sports Feature Story finalist by the Associated Collegiate Press.
Sanchez earned an associate’s degree in mass communications and journalism from North Campus in May before transferring to the Honors College at Florida International University this fall where she is majoring in organizational communications.
