Potomac Local News is excited to announce Aya Karouane as the newest intern joining our team. Aya, 16, a junior at Mountain View High School in Stafford County, brings a fresh perspective to our team of independent community journalists.
When asked about the importance of community journalism, Aya emphasized, "You can find news about major national stories anywhere, but it's difficult to find reliable local news. Community journalism ensures that everyone has access to the news that happens in their own backyard."
