Get to know Levi Foster, INA’s newest intern.

Please welcome our newest team member, Levi Foster from Ankeny High School.

Levi will create content highlighting some of the state’s top high school journalism programs and covering the expansion of journalism among younger generations.

Before accepting the internship position at the Iowa Newspaper Association, Levi served on The Talon, Ankeny High School’s news team. There, he served as a reporter before being quickly promoted to several editorial roles. Levi helped revive the journalism program at Ankeny and won over 60 awards at the Iowa High School Press Association Spring Journalism Contest, while taking home seven personal awards, including honorable mentions in the Photographer of the Year award and Opinion Writer of the Year award. Levi is also an IHSPA Scholar and a member of the international Quill and Scroll Honor Society.

Levi got into journalism as a junior in high school to get over his social anxiety, but gradually fell in love with storytelling through words and photographs. Levi plans on attending Iowa State University in the fall to double major in Journalism and Mass Communications and Sports Media and Communications.
