Hello! My name is Jordan D. Brown and I am an editorial intern at Patch reporting in Bowie, MD. I was placed at Patch through the Dow Jones News Fund as one of 21 digital media interns selected in the nation.
I am a rising junior at Morgan State University studying multimedia journalism. I am the Editor in Chief of Morgan State University's student run news publication, The MSU Spokesman. I also serve as the Vice President of Morgan State's Association of Black Journalists. Some of my articles have been published on Apple News, The Baltimore Afro, The Washington Informer, WEAA, and my own self made magazine, Journalistic.
In my spare time, I enjoy taking pictures, playing with my dog, and spending time with friends and family. If you would like to connect, email me at jordan.brown@patch.com!
