Judah Robinson

I am a senior at Louisiana State University studying political science focusing on international politics and law, and minoring in international studies focusing on Middle Eastern politics and society.

This past summer I interned for Al Jazeera's peabody and emmy award winning weekly invesigative documentary series, Fault Lines, in Washington D.C.

Prior to interning for Al Jazeera, I was a Freelance News Editor at DIG Baton Rouge Magazine, and a Senior Contributing News Writer for The Daily Reveille, LSU’s student-run daily newspaper, where I covered Student Government.

I’m originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, which has been the ultimate reason why I decided I wanted to be a journalist. I was a young child when hurricane Katrina ravaged my city, and seeing the death, destruction and utter chaos that consumed my city, made me realize that I wanted to be a story teller. If information truly is power, what better way to contribute to society than by providing that valuable information?

I started my career in journalism when I was selected as one of the winners of The Huffington Post's "Cover the Conventions" contest, which gave me the opportunity to report from The 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.

I am passionate about anything and everything international. I am completely obsessed with maps, foreign languages, current events, writing, film and photography. I am a news nerd to the core.
