If you’re a bit confused by the headline that appears above these words, you’re likely not alone, so let me explain:
In one of the four sections that make up the Crookston Times’ 2021 Community Connections special edition, you will find profiles in a sort of “Where are they now?” vein of 17 former Times summer interns and student writers/photographers who occupied our newsroom during the school year, not for pay like in the summer but instead for academic credit, through a partnership with Crookston High School.
I wasn’t able to track down every single intern or student writer who’s spent time at the Times, but of the 18 I was able to find, all but one was able to participate in this special edition by answering a series of questions I came up with and also submitting some of their favorite photos. Each former intern/student writer was asked the same half-dozen or so questions, but then, based on things I know about them personally either before, during or after their time at the Times, I came up with a couple of individualized questions as well for them to answer.
