Media Fellows create unique social media content on a regular schedule for LEDA social channels. The goal is to educate the public about LEDA and show stakeholders – partners, donors, and fellow LEDA Community members – diverse perspectives on what it is like to be a LEDA Scholar or Career Fellow.
This is a leadership opportunity in which Media Fellows serve as spokespeople and ambassadors for LEDA. It also gives Edelman Smithfield team members an opportunity to coach and mentor the next generation of leaders.
Upon successful completion of the program, LEDA Media Fellows can add this selective credential to their résumés and will be given preferred status when applying to Edelman Smithfield summer internships, with one guaranteed internship slot available for a LEDA Media Fellow per summer.
