Paul David Lampe is not your normal intern.
This summer, he's reporting as NLGJA's first-ever Leroy F. Aarons Newsroom Intern at The Oakland Tribune, where NLGJA's founder (for whom the internship is named) once served in a variety of capacities, including executive editor.
Even in just his first few weeks, he has covered an Ascophyllum nodosum invasion, interviewed an Oakland Raider and smelled a corpse flower. For the rest of the summer, he will give us a front row seat for his exploration of print journalism and new media, both at his cubicle and in the field.
