The Jewish Telegraphic Agency’s summer intern program began its 11th year this week, it was announced by Martin Fox, president of the JTA. The continuation of the program was made possible this year by special grants from JTA Board members. The program provides on-the-job training for young people interested in Jewish journalism, Fox pointed out.
The year’s intern is Marian Margulies. She was formerly an editorial assistant/reporter for The Reporter in Binghamton, N.Y., and public affairs assistant producer at WSKG in Endwell, N.Y. She is a freelance writer and photographer, specializing in human interest and Jewish-related issues. Recently, Ms. Margulies completed a course on multi-image productions at the New School for Social Research and produced a show in the interim.
She resided in Israel for three years and studied communications at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem for two of those years. Ms. Margulies, who is 23 years old, received her BA in Hebrew literature and language from SUNY Binghamton and plans to continue towards an MA in psychology at the New School in the fall. She is married to Hune Margulies, a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
