LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY?

The Pennsylvania Society of Newspapers Editors
(PSNE) is offering an internship for college
juniors and seniors enrolled in journalism or communications
programs in Pennsylvania.

For five days (May 12, 2010 through May 16, 2010), student interns will cover the annual Pennsylvania Press Conference and Keystone Press Awards for a comprehensive online operation entitled The PSNE Online Reporter. Throughout the weekend conference in May 2010, students will have a chance to work one on one with industry professionals to produce the live Web site, 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.

This is a chance to build your resume and make contacts for that first job.

Students who are interested in reporting, shooting video, taking photographs, designing a Web site and copy editing should apply. Applications are due by Friday, December 18, 2009. Notification of acceptance will be sent to students by Friday, January 22, 2010.

The internship will pay a stipend of $150 to each student and will cover accommodations with most meals being provided. Some students may also make arrangements for academic credit for the internship.
