[Journalists] update from Liz

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hi Mohammad,
I hate to give you bad news, but we don't have any openings in our newsroom,
and I'm not sure when we will be hiring again.
We just went through another round of buyouts in the newsroom and lost eight
people.
You may want to research internships or fellowships available to those
wishing to study in the United States.

Best

Liz
