The Pennsylvania Society of Newspapers Editors (PSNE) is offering a unique internship for college juniors and seniors enrolled in journalism or communications programs in Pennsylvania.
For three days (Thursday, May 31 through Saturday, June 2, 2012), student interns will cover the annual Pennsylvania Press Conference and Keystone Press Awards for a comprehensive online operation entitled the PSNE Online Reporter Project. Throughout the weekend conference at the Wyndham Gettysburg, students will have a chance to work one on one with industry professionals to produce a live website, conduct interviews, report on industry issues, cover convention speeches and the awards programs, and have a chance to network with editors from all over the state.
Students who are interested in reporting, shooting video, taking photographs, designing a website and copy editing should apply. Applications are due at the PNA Foundation by 5 p.m., Friday, Jan. 20, 2012. Notification of acceptance will be sent to students by mid-February.
