Poynter and Google News Initiative Misinformation Student Fellowship Program

In 2023, given the ever present problem of misinformation and how quickly it can spread — especially on social media – the Google News Initiative and Poynter have partnered to launch a student fellowship program focused on combating mis- and disinformation in communities.

Meet the fellows

Merena Gallo

The Dallas Morning News

As a senior at the University of Texas, I'm proud to be a fellow in the Poynter & Google News Initiative program, contributing to The Dallas Morning News. Hailing from San Antonio, Texas, my journalism odyssey is rooted in a commitment to meaningful storytelling. My membership in the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) has deepened my passion for media diversity.

Outside the classroom, I find inspiration in podcasts and content creation. I aspire to merge my storytelling skills with a keen interest in the beauty industry, specifically makeup and skincare. I can’t wait to contribute fresh perspectives and connect to others through my stories!
