For the 2015 fall semester, the New Mexico News Port is proud to have three Communication and Journalism students as interns. Our team is made up of Derrick Toledo, who will graduate in December; Kenneth Ferguson, who will graduate in May of 2016; and Emily Ediger who will graduate in May of 2017. These three students will be a key part to the New Mexico News Port this semester, working behind the scenes to help produce and edit content, update our website and coach other students. They will be integral to our Creative New Mexico project, in which we look at the innovation economy in the state.
