I've spent the past nine days in Phoenix with journalists from around the country for digital media training with Dow Jones News Fund. I'm so sad to leave such wonderful people, but I'm excited to see what we accomplish in our internships this summer. #djnfdigital24 public.flourish.studio/visualisation/…
