Spotlight on the Fellows: Morgan Spiehs

Name: Morgan Spiehs, Peter Kiewet Fellow

School: University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Style of reporting: Photojournalism and multimedia

Previous internship or work experience: I worked for the Daily Nebraskan for over two years as a senior photographer and photo editor. I’ve been a photo intern at Northeast Nebraska News Company and The Lincoln Journal Star.

Favorite reporting experience: Traveling to Ethiopia to photograph a circus that gives back to the community by giving poor and homeless children a place to go. The circus members hardly have more than the clothes on their back yet they share everything from food to beds to helping pay for a previous member’s college tuition.
