Simeon Lancaster, the 2013 ThreeSixty Scholar, graduated from the University of St. Thomas in May and recently landed a job with PBS NewsHour’s The Under-Told Stories Project, whose correspondent, Fred de Sam Lazaro, is based at St. Thomas.
On Aug. 1, Lancaster started full-time as a production assistant. A former intern with The Under-Told Stories Project, Lancaster will edit stories for NewsHour, help with production research and execution, and run the website and social media platforms, among other job duties.
“I’m so excited to be producing international, solutions-based journalism that cuts through the news bubble – journalism that the world needs to hear right now,” Lancaster said.
