We’re thrilled to let you know that our summer interns, Hailey Cook and Mirandah Davis-Powell, are settled in and hard at work to bring you even more local news coverage.

Expect to see their bylines joining our mix in the coming days. Hailey will focus her reporting on public health programs, while Mirandah is zeroing in on food and agriculture.

Both will also cover a range of other stories – including previewing this weekend’s upcoming World Beat Festival and a range of summer theatrical productions.

If you have ideas for them, don’t be shy.
