Assistant professor Bingbing Zhang, Ph.D. student David Lomoywara and Frankline Matanji (PhD 2024) co-authored, Examining News Media Use and Trust in Public Institutions in Kenya: The Moderating Role of Perceived Corruption and Political Freedom in the International Journal of Communication. This article looks at developing democracies like Kenya where trust in public institutions remains low, the media’s role in shaping political attitudes presents a paradox: While news
consumption can foster political learning, engagement, and trust it may equally fuel cynicism and polarization.

We'll head back to the 515 for the next SJMC Internship Spotlight. Chris Meglio was a news intern for the Des Moines Register. We'll let him tell you a little more about the opportunities he had during his time there.

“It’s been a blessing to cover news and politics this summer for Iowa’s biggest news publisher, the Des Moines Register. I’ve wrote over 70 stories throughout the 10-week internship and have covered some unique events such as President Donald Trump’s America250 Kick-Off Rally, an Iowa Sweet Corn event on the Capitol steps featuring Gov. Kim Reynolds, and the Iowa State Fair. And me being a sportswriter at the university, I got to shadow a colleague from the Register at IndyCAR and NASCAR held at Iowa Speedway (never been a racing ran until now).

Outside of the internship, the city of Des Moines has been one of my favorite cities I’ve ever been to – the scenery, the food, the nightlife, the events, etc. I feel very fortunate that the Register and USA TODAY trusts someone like me, a sportswriter, for its news and politics coverage!”

SJMC students get internship opportunities all over the world, but sometimes there are great internships in Iowa City! Mackenzie Fenwick interned with the University of Iowa Center for Advancement. Hear from her about this incredible experience!

“I didn’t know I could love the University of Iowa more than I did but here we are! Getting to be the Corporate & Community Development/ Children’s Miracle Network Intern has been the most fulfilling way to spend my summer here in Iowa City. To say I’ve been busy is an understatement. From getting to work with our CMN partners like Dairy Queen to sourcing out auction items for our Swing Fore Stead event at Pinseekers, I’ve gotten the chance to really refine the skills necessary to be a successful philanthropy professional. It’s been the perfect balance of hard work and fun. Don’t believe me! Look at the last slide :)”
