The Fine Print

At 12, Graham Krewinghaus (C’25) knew he wanted to be a journalist. 

He fondly remembers the daily copy of The Boston Globe plopping down at his front door each morning and unfolding its massive sections. 

“I fell in love with the newspaper,” said Krewinghaus, a Spanish major and journalism minor.

At Georgetown, Krewinghaus followed his love for journalism, becoming involved his first year with The Georgetown Voice, a biweekly student-run magazine. From reporting on GUSA to serving as the editor-in-chief his junior year, Krewinghaus found every nook and cranny of the publication teeming with possibility. 

During his time as an undergraduate, Krewinghaus also pursued several journalism opportunities off campus, including internships at Cape Cod Times, a daily newspaper in Massachusetts, and VTDigger, a Vermont-based online outlet devoted to investigative journalism. While studying abroad in Mexico, he reported in Spanish for his capstone project.

“I completed an in-depth story on migration that focused on an asylum app implemented by the Biden administration,” said Krewinghaus. “I was able to interview folks on the impact of that app and what its removal under the next administration would mean. It was an incredible opportunity, and I was proud to do everything entirely in Spanish.”

While at The Georgetown Voice, Krewinghaus was able to expand his knowledge — and the publications’ offerings. Inspired by his own love of crossword puzzles and the challenge of doing something new, he started creating the puzzles himself.

Now, with graduation around the corner, he’s looking to continue reporting and puzzling anywhere that still prints a newspaper. 

“I still do really love the print medium,” says Krewinghaus. “It’s super cool to see your byline and know that a bunch of other people are going to see that, touch it and read what you wrote yesterday about something that matters to them.”
