Sarah Binney is an NYC-based freelance journalist with a research interest in the relationship between the news media and politics. She currently works and studies at New York University. Sarah undertook an internship with the Hub and she shares her experience:

"Working in the Policy Innovation Hub was an incredible development experience for me. I learned about the complex aspects of local, state, and federal government and gained insights into public policy and the public sector.  I will always appreciate this opportunity and know working directly with Australia's best political scientists as part of an innovative, cross-disciplinary team to solve policy challenges hugely influenced the trajectory of my career. Learning how the government and higher education can work in tandem to enact successful policy sparked my enduring interest in political science, media, public policy and education, and I plan to further my studies in these areas with a Masters degree.
