“The Emma L. Bowen Foundation absolutely jumpstarted my career as a broadcast journalist! EBF believed in me as a young college student by giving me an incredible opportunity to learn from the industry’s best. The years I spent as an EBF fellow allowed me to see what was possible for my future and start to make it a reality. I was treated as more than an intern but another crucial team member in the newsroom. Because of this, I felt confident entering the workforce and growing in this business. I can’t thank EBF and its corporate sponsors – including Hearst Television – enough for providing students from every background the opportunity of a lifetime.”
