Paul Hendrickson meets up with three of his students - Jessica Goldstein, Naomi Shavin, and Trishula Patel - in Washington DC, at Kramerbooks on Dupont Circle on Tuesday July 2. Here is part of Paul's caption for this nice photo: "Jessica, graduate of the College 2011, has been at the Style section of the Washington Post almost since the day she graduated. She came as an intern that summer and impressed her editors to the extent that they wouldn't let her go home. She writes about art and theater and general culture and week in, week out, she fills up the paper. Last week, nothing to it,
Style ran two of her stories on the same day. Naomi, rising senior in the College, is in the Washington bureau of the New Yorker this summer, working as a mad researcher for Ryan Lizza and Jane Mayer. She is following in the footsteps of Mike Morse, who graduated from Penn in May and did the same kind of work last summer. Naomi did major researching and backgrounding for Lizza on an immigration piece that has just appeared in the magazine. Trish, the College 2012, earned a master's degree from Columbia's graduate school of journalism this past spring and then won an internship at the
Washington Post. She's out reporting every day for the metro section of the paper--little "briefs" and far more substantial stuff. Already she has scored a co-byline on A-1. (It was about Rusty the red panda who suddenly went missing at the National Zoo.) Note: In his 23 years as a staff feature writer in Style at the Post, the old guy in the photograph probably had no more than 4 or 5 front-page stories. Cool it, Trish!"
