Internship in Journalism

Supervision by a departmental internship coordinator. Participation in the internship may be contingent upon a successful interview at the sponsoring organization. Internships ordinarily involve a minimum 9 hours per week for 15 weeks (or equivalent time for Summer semester) of off-campus work in a professional news organization, for which the Journalism curriculum has prepared the student through its emphasis on writing, reporting, research, and critical thinking in the context of the world of Journalism. Journalism internships provide exposure to news tasks in a variety of settings. A final written paper is required.
