Meet intern David Yaffe-Bellany

David is a junior at Yale University and a newsroom intern this summer.

At school, David majors in English, although he also enjoys studying history and film. He grew up in central New Jersey and will live in the Old West End this summer.

Outside of class — and sometimes during lecture, when he’s on a tight deadline — David writes about the university president’s office for the Yale Daily News. He especially enjoys covering labor issues and campus politics.

An avid soccer fan, David played competitively in high school and got his start in journalism writing about soccer for various websites and magazines. He is often seen wearing the colors of Manchester United.

David’s email address is dbellany@theblade.com and his work extension is 6050. Welcome, David.
