This week we're excited to welcome Will Haynes to the team as our new News Apps and Technology Intern.

Will is a student studying computer science and economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

He developed a passion for media, and the technology that drives it, after getting involved with UW’s independent student newspaper,The Badger Herald. There he served as web director before transitioning into the role of digital managing editor. This year, he will still serve as chairman of the Herald’s board of directors.

In addition to the paper, Will also spent a semester as a fellow for UW’s Center for Journalism Ethics. There he worked with the Center’s staff to design and develop a new WordPress presence for the organization. For INN, he will be working on Project Largo improvements and documentation, as well as helping member organizations with other projects.

He'll be with us through the academic year and you can reach him on Twitter @willhaynes.

Welcome to the team, Will!
