Jasmine Gomez, one of the longer-serving interns at the Norwood News, is bidding farewell to the community paper and hello to journalism grad school.

Her tenure ends a yearlong expedition into the world of community journalism, improving upon her craft while opening doors to other opportunities. Gomez, a Bronx native, was recently accepted to high-ranking Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications on a full scholarship. The Norwood News wants to publicly thank her for her contributions to the publication.

Gomez began at the Norwood News on the recommendation of an employee at Mosholu Preservation Corporation. She had graduated from Binghamton University in upstate New York two years before with a political science degree, later working at a law office. But she always maintained a keen interest in journalism. She joined the Norwood News to sharpen that skill, contributing three days a week.

Readers may have caught Gomez’s byline in several news articles that included the state’s expiring rent laws, illegal barbecues along Mosholu Parkway, and World Kidney Day. In all, Gomez wrote 22 stories, took countless photos, performed a variety of newsroom tasks that included social media promotion, and became a part of the team.

From David Cruz, Melissa Cebollero, Judy Noy, Vivian Carter, Dawn McEvoy, Nohelia Aquino, Rebecca Daniele, Jane Corbett, Wendell Alexis, and Miosotis Muñoz, a goodbye and good luck to Jasmine Gomez.
