Navar Watson, a 2012 Noblesville High School graduate, will serve as the summer intern for Current in Noblesville. The dean’s list scholar is a student at Indiana Wesleyan University and expects to graduate with a degree in journalism and a minor in theatre in April 2016.
“I love telling stories and that journalism is a method for me to do that,” said Watson, the son of Richard and Lori Watson. “I love meeting new and different people, and that’s what drives my interest in journalism.”
Earlier this year, Watson worked as an intern for the Catholic News Service in Washington, D.C., where he wrote articles and features for publication in various Catholic newspapers across the nation.
This fall, Watson will be co-editor-in-chief of the IWU student newspaper, The Sojourn. He has been on the staff since his freshman year and previously served as news editor in the fall 2013 semester.
Covering Noblesville is not new to Watson. During his junior year, he was a staff writer for the NHS student-run newspaper, The Mill Stream, and served as managing editor his senior year.
Watson also enjoys creative writing and public speaking.
“I have aspirations of working in the communications department at a film studio one day. I also would like to live in London for a period of time,” he said.
