MediaStorm welcomes interns Juliette Lynch and Sam Saccone to our team. They will be working with us this spring on some exciting multimedia and interactive design projects.

Juliette Lynch is a multimedia journalist who recently graduated from Syracuse University with degrees in Photojournalism and International Relations. Juliette is passionate about stories that focus on human rights and social justice issues.

She recently finished an internship working as a daily shooter at the Philadelphia Inquirer, which followed a fellowship with News21, a Carnegie and Knight Foundations educational journalism initiative. She spent the summer producing multimedia stories that looked at the issues veterans in northern Washington face upon returning home from war.

Her work was featured on the NPR Picture Show, LA Times Framework, and she was the 2010 Alexia Foundation student grant winner for her ongoing project, “Growing Up Girl.”

Sam Saccone is currently finishing his undergraduate degree at Ohio University in the School of Visual Communication where he is majoring in photojournalism and minoring in computer science. Over the summer of 2010, he worked for The Virginian-Pilot as their multimedia intern both producing and developing interactives.

More recently, he has been working on projects for clients including CNN and The New York Stock Exchange, visualizing data through interactive multimedia that has been used on the web and on live broadcasts.
