Get ready to be motivated and informed on how internships can pave the way for success. Owen Devlin is a senior majoring in broadcast journalism at Suffolk University in Boston. Owen first developed an interest in journalism during high school. He would come home each day, and watch the evening local news broadcasts. He not only enjoyed watching, but also analyzing every aspect of the newscast including watching reporters in the field, anchors present the news, and other journalists working behind the scenes in the newsroom. Owen has a deep passion for writing and interviewing, and has incorporated these aspects of the news-gathering process into many projects he has completed for his courses. Owen was diagnosed with legal blindness at a young age. He has retinopathy of prematurity, as well as a condition called nystagmus. Nystagmus causes involuntary eye movement. Owen has learned to adapt to his surroundings, and embrace his challenges because he feels they shape who he is as a person. He believes everyone has a unique story, and will strive to ensure that people have the opportunity to make their voices heard through his work as a TV reporter. Outside of the classroom, Owen enjoys attending concerts, spending time with family and friends, and being by the water in the summertime.
