IEEE-USA Engineering Mass Media Fellows to Report on Sci-Tech at Los Angeles Times, Sacramento Bee Newspapers

12 June – Two IEEE-USA Engineering Mass Media Fellows, Wendy Hansen and Maddalena Jackson, will be writing news stories on science, engineering and technology as part of a 10-week internship from June to August at the Los Angeles Times and Sacramento Bee, respectively. Wendy Hansen is a biophysics Ph.D. candidate at the University of California-Berkeley; and Maddalena Jackson is a 2008 graduate of Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, Calif., with a B.S. in engineering.

Since 2000, nine U.S. IEEE undergraduate and graduate students have been chosen as IEEE-USA Engineering Mass Media Fellows and have helped journalists in print and broadcast fields communicate authoritatively to the public about science, engineering and technology.  IEEE-USA is the only engineering organization engaged in the Mass Media Fellows program, which is administered by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
