Mitchell Broder
Senior / Digital/Print Journalism
I am currently a Senior at Penn State University in the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications majoring in Digital/Print Journalism. I am a member of CommRadio, Penn State’s student-run radio station. My responsibilities include writing articles, hosting a radio talk show, beat writing/broadcasting live sports events and participating in podcasts about various sports.
I have also interned in marketing content roles, as I have interned for WSC Sports, the leader is AI Automation for sports highlights, and The Verdi Group.
I hope to one day have the opportunity to work in media/journalism. This is a passion of mine, and a goal I’d like to work towards.
