Senior journalism student covers politics up-close for NBC News
Joseph Maronski, a senior journalism major from Miller Place, New York, joined NBC News’ Political Unit, in Washington, DC, which supports programs across NBC News in their coverage of politics. As a political unit intern, he writes for “Meet the Press First Read” and other digital programs.
Maronski says he has covered several stories throughout his internship, including hearings, monumental Supreme Court decisions and midterm elections. The experiential learning aspect of his position has helped him grow as a journalist and person while also developing his professional network.
“HPU helped me grow as a professional and understand how the world of journalism intersects with politics,” says Maronski. “Through the Access to Innovators Program, I have met countless impactful professionals and developed close relationships with them, allowing me to grow and use those connections throughout my professional journey.”
Last summer, Maronski interned with ABC News “Nightline.” He connected with that internship opportunity thanks to guidance and coaching from Byron Pitts, co-anchor of “Nightline” and HPU’s Journalist in Residence.
