currently enrolled undergraduate students, but a limited number of
graduating Seniors, recent graduates and Master's students may be accepted

For the first six weeks of the program, participants will take part in a
seminar series to expand their academic understanding of the politics,
society and culture of Germany, and the country's current social conditions
and media scene. During the second week, students will go on excursions

subsidy of 650-950 Euros (depending on US city of origin) towards the cost
of international transportation to Germany; travel costs not covered by the
partial subsidy must be paid by the individual program participants
themselves. DAAD will also provide health and accident insurance. There will
be a program fee of 140 Euros.
 
The application deadline is January 31, 2010. The 40 applicants who are

The American Society of Magazine Editors sponsors a ten-week summer internship program for college juniors each year. 

The internship program is intended for editorially oriented students. The emphasis is on editing magazines, and includes the performance under supervision of such tasks as handling reader mail, evaluating unsolicited manuscripts, researching articles, checking facts, proofreading, copy editing, interviewing, covering press conferences, and attending editorial meetings. At a number of magazines, there may also be reporting and writing opportunities, even a few bylines. Some interns have the opportunity to see how the circulation, advertising and other business departments of the magazine function. 

The program begins with a two-and-a-half day orientation in New York, during which the interns get to know each other; hear from top editors and other magazine executives about magazine editing and publishing; and meet alumni of the program who talk about magazine jobs and living in and enjoying the city. A brief orientation meeting is also held in Washington, D.C. for interns assigned there.

During the program there are weekly luncheons where interns meet and visit with a varied group of editors and other magazine professionals..

Each intern is asked to submit a written report by the final day of the internship on his/her specific work experience, suggestions for the program, and comments on journalism education.

Coaches Media Conference Calls:
The first part of writing a game preview requires your presence on the weekly Coaches-Media Conference Call. While on the call, you will need to take notes and capture quotes from the coaches that are to be included in your game preview.  This call will take place every Wednesday during the NLL season, typically at 1PM Eastern Time.  You will be emailed a schedule for the call every week with toll-free dial-in instructions.  Please be present for the time frame(s) outlined in the email you receive for your respective team.

1:08PM – 1:16PM: Minnesota @ Washington (Mike Lines & Chris Hall)

We also encourage you to ask questions that will help you with your preview.  Keep the number of total questions to two or less, as time is limited and print and broadcast media may also have questions. Please be prepared in advance with questions you would like to ask, and email them to faceoff@nll.com the day before the call.

You must act in a professional manner on the call, as there will be members of the media, NLL coaches and NLL representatives participating in the discussion. 

When asking a question, state your name and your affiliation (NLL.com). 

Example: John Smith from NLL.com would like to ask a question for Coach Tom Ryan

The Moderator will acknowledge your request and give you the go ahead.

Writing a Game Preview
After the coaches call, you will be asked to write a game preview for your team’s upcoming home game. The game preview will initially run on the league website either the day before or the day of the game leading up to the start of the contest.  However, you must submit your preview to faceoff@nll.com by 1:00PM Eastern on Thursday, so our editors can review your story and prepare it for the website. 

Stats and all other relevant information for writing a preview are available in the stats section on NLL.com.  More information will also be available through the league’s new stat providing program: leaguestat.com.  If you have further questions on either of these outlets, you can always reach out to anyone on the NLL.com team.






Here are some helpful pointers for writing a game preview for NLL.com:

First Paragraph:
The introduction is the most structured paragraph of your preview and it will appear as the teaser for the story on the NLL.com homepage. Below is an example of what we are looking for with this paragraph:

	Example:
The Edmonton Rush (RECORD) hope to stop the red-hot Colorado Mammoth (RECORD) on Friday, when the two teams meet for the first time this season at Pepsi Center. The Mammoth have won three straight, while the Rush look to bounce back after a heartbreaking last-second loss to Arizona last week. Game time is 9pm Eastern.

Note: Be sure to include team names, records, game site and game time.

Body: 
The body of the story is where you will provide your analysis of the upcoming game.

Avoid opinions and back up your analysis with facts.
DO NOT say: 
"Team A is the best team in the league." -or- "Team B has the best offense in the league." 

DO Say:
"Team A has a league-best 11-2 record." 
 - or - 
"Team B leads the league with 150 goals."

NOTE: As representatives of the National Lacrosse League we have to be careful with how we phrase things and must maintain an unbiased stance. We don't want readers thinking that the NLL believes "Team A is the best team in the league." 
Keep it to the point:
The game previews should be to the point and we do not need to be “over-creative.”  Use quotes from the coaches call to add spice to the story.  Let the coaches say it.  We’re just presenting the information.

Don’t' Say:  "The winner goes to the playoffs, the loser will go golfing."
Say: "The winner goes to the playoffs, the loser will be eliminated from contention." 

If the coach says -- "If we lose, we'll be golfing rather than going to the playoffs." – include a quote.
Double check facts & spelling:
This is very important in maintaining the integrity of the website.  Double check all stats and facts that you include in your previews.  The editors won’t have time to double check every statistic.  Also double check the story for spelling (especially player names) and grammar mistakes.
Conclusion: 
Like in any style of writing, close the story with a short two or three sentence conclusion and recap the main points of your preview.  Do not say “In conclusion…”

An example of a game preview is attached to the end of this manual (Note: the example is somewhat longer than what is required, being that it was a Division Final preview).

 
GAME NIGHT REPORTING

Home Team:
If your team is home, the majority of your work for the week was completing the game preview. For home games, you will be issued a game credential that will get you into the arena.  We will put you in contact with the team’s PR Director, who will advise you on where to pick up your credential.  The credential will give you access to the press box.  Once in the press box, find a seat and enjoy the game.

The press box is a working area of the arena, therefore you must maintain a professional demeanor in the press box and appropriate attire (business casual) is required.  You may also wear your NLL polo shirt if you prefer.  There is no cheering allowed in the press box. Additionally, please adhere to any team and arena specific Press Box policies.

While taking in the game, make note of any key plays or highlights, such as any great goals, highlight reel saves or big-time hits.  The NLL submits clips of top plays to ESPN’s SportsCenter for consideration on their weekly Top Ten Plays of the Week.  The league also puts together a weekly Top Five Plays of the Week highlight which will be composed of suggested plays.  If you notice anything worthy, write down a short description of the highlight, the player(s) involved and what time during the game it took place.  At the end of the evening, email all of your descriptions to faceoff@nll.com.

At the conclusion of the game, you may interview any players or coaches.  Quotes gathered here can be used for you personally, on either future game previews or your feature story, and/or sent to the away team’s journalist if they are relevant for that evening’s game (See below: Visiting Team). If a player had a noteworthy performance (five goals or more, 50 saves, etc), don’t be shy - interview that player!  Your quote will likely be added to the game recap for that night.  You can use the team media guide to help identify a player, or ask the team’s PR Director to introduce you to the player.  Certain games may have a special post-game press conference.  In that situation, attend the press conference rather than interviewing individual players or coaches.


Visiting Team:
If your team is on the road, you will be responsible for covering the game on NLL.com. You will watch the game online via the NLL Network and will be required to write a post-game recap to send to faceoff@nll.com.

All games will have a “Watch Live” link attached to the teaser section of the game’s preview.  You can watch the live streaming broadcast of your game by clicking this link.  It is recommended that you have a broadband connection to view the webcast.

You can also find a live box score of the game at NLL.com to assist you.  In the event that you experience technical difficulties with the video, you may need to rely entirely on the box score.  While taking in the game, make note of any key plays or highlights, such as any ‘great goals’ or big hits to e-mail to faceoff@nll.com.  It is also recommended that you begin writing your recap as the game progresses.
After the conclusion of the game, write a 5-7 paragraph game recap story.  The journalist assigned to the home team in your game will be sending you any quotes and key plays that he/she obtained as well.  An example of a game recap is attached at the end of this manual. The same rules apply for writing a recap as a preview, although time is now a factor.  The sooner the recap is up on the site following the conclusion of a game, the better.
 
NLL.com FEATURE STORIES

During the course of the season, you will be required to write at least two feature stories on your assigned team, or a specific player on your team. As you follow the team during the course of the season and begin to learn about the players and dynamics of the team, begin tossing around ideas for any interesting storyline you think fans might like to read about. You can pitch your ideas for approval to your editors at anytime.

Your story should include quotes from players and coaches. Your editors can assist you with contacting players for interviews. When interviewing players, please be courteous and remember you are a representative of the National Lacrosse League.

Sample Game Preview

MINNESOTA LOOKS TO GAIN GROUND VS. SAN JOSE
Western Conference Playoff Race Heats Up at HP Pavilion

The Minnesota Swarm (5-7) and San Jose Stealth (5-8), two teams separated by one-half game in the West Division, will square off from HP Pavilion on Friday night at 10pm ET.
 
The Swarm can potentially clinch a playoff berth this weekend, needing a series of events to occur in order to do so.  The Swarm have been better on the road this year (4-3) than at home (1-4) and will need to continue their solid road play in San Jose by defeating the Stealth.  After that, Minnesota will need to beat Edmonton at home and hope for Edmonton to also lose on Friday to Portland or for Colorado to win twice this weekend.
Swarm head coach Duane Jacobs is not looking that far ahead, though.
“We certainly know what’s at stake at this point. Obviously, both teams, I would think, have a sense of urgency given what’s at stake,” said Jacobs.  “We’ve responded in the past with big games.  We just have to go in and execute and play well for 60 minutes.”
The Stealth are fresh off a home-and-home split with Portland last week, placing them in fifth place in the West Division, behind Minnesota.  San Jose has had no problem scoring goals this year with an offense led by Colin Doyle, Jeff Zywicki, Rhys Duch and Cam Sedgwick.  A member of that high-powered unit received some hardware this week when Duch was named the league’s Rookie of the Month for March.  Duch scored 10 goals and 10 assists as the Stealth went 2-3 for the month.
To continue its drive towards the playoffs, San Jose will need its defense to perform like it did in last Sunday’s 13-8 win over Portland.  Goaltender Tyler Richards played 55:45 in his most extensive action of the year, making 43 saves and only allowing six goals after fellow Stealth goaltender Matt Roik allowed the first two shots he faced to get past him.
“Our playoff lives are on the line.  For all intents and purposes, this is a playoff game for us,” said Stealth head coach Chris Hall.  “We have to play and prepare like this is it.”












Sample Game Recap

EDMONTON RALLIES PAST TORONTO, 12-9
Palidwor, Rush defense stifle Rock in fourth quarter

Curtis Palidwor recorded a season-high 50 saves to lift the Edmonton Rush past the Toronto Rock, 12-9, in front of 11,547 fans at Rexall Place on Friday. Palidwor held Toronto scoreless in the fourth quarter as Edmonton scored six straight to rally for the win. Randy Daly scored four goals and Jamie Bowen scored three for the Rush (3-3), who snapped a three-game losing streak.

Edmonton trailed after three quarters, 9-6, but Palidwor and the Rush defense stood their ground as the offense got into a rhythm. Jason Wulder, Chris Gill and Daly scored consecutive goals within the first two minutes to tie the game, and Bowen added the eventual game-winner three minutes later. Daly delivered an insurance goal at 8:35 and defenseman Andrew Turner put the nail in the coffin with an empty-netter at 13:12.

Daly matched a career-high with his four goal performance. The 22-year-old forward had just seven goals over 11 games in 2007.

Wulder and Gill chipped in two goals apiece for the Rush.

Edmonton's penalty killers were a big part of their victory, as they held Toronto scoreless on all five of their power play opportunities. On the other end of the floor, the Rush went 2-for-3 on the man-advantage.

Aaron Wilson had three goals for the Rock, while Ryan Benesch and Matt Shearer each added two for Toronto (4-2). Bob Watson made 25 saves in the loss.

Edmonton travels to San Jose next Saturday, while Toronto hosts Colorado on Friday.

  Health, science and business reporting for LocalHealthGuide
  
  LocalHealthGuide is a new online health news Web site that provides
  health news for Seattle and the Puget Sound region.

  The site was recently chosen by to join the Seattle Times News
  Partnership and was selected by the Knight Digital Media Center for
  its 2009 News Entrepreneurs Workshop.

  The site is looking for interns who would be interested in covering
  local health, science and health-related business news.
  Most of the stories will be short wire service-style pieces, but
  longer pieces could be written if the story's good.
  Interns will be able to work from home, school -- or the cafe -- and
  file online.

  The editor has extensive experience writing for the general public and
  scientific readers and will provide interns with support and coaching.
  All stories will have the intern's byline so it's a good opportunity
  to build up some clips.

  The site will also be experimenting with the use of Flip Cam video and
  other multimedia tools and interns will be welcome to try their hand.
  Right now, the site is produced almost entirely by the editor -- so
  it's a good opportunity for someone who wants to get experience
  writing for an online news site.

  Hours: estimated 10 hours/week.
  Pay: None now but if the site starts to make money we would start to
  pay at least something.
  
  To see what the site's about go to http://localhealthguideonline.com.
  
  Interns would be able to write for any section of the site but three
  beats that would suit a intern at least at the start would be:
  
  Seattle Science: short science news stories featuring local the work
  of local researchers.
  Global Health Seattle: stories coming out of local global health
  organizations such as PATH, the UW Global Health program, and the
  Gates Foundation.
  Providers News: Short pieces about the business side of health - a
  good beat for someone who is interested in going into business
  reporting.
  
  Anyone interested should send me an email at mxmc@mac.com
  
  Best,
  
  Michael McCarthy MD

From: Joel Magalnick | JTNews 
 
Starting in mid-October, the retrial of the State vs. Naveed Haq, the man
who shot six people inside the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle in 2006,
and killing one, is scheduled to begin on or around Oct. 19 (jury selection
begins the week before). I’m not sure how long the trial is expected to last
(the first, which ended in a mistrial, went for about five weeks), but we do
not have a dedicated reporter on staff who can be at the trial each day.
JTNews, the Jewish community newspaper for Washington State, is seeking a
dedicated student who could blog details on our Web site, which I would then
turn into trial updates in the paper. The student would be expected to spend
a large portion of the day in the courtroom taking notes which could then be
posted online. NO electronic media will be allowed in the courtroom, and
photography will not be necessary. Interested students should contact me at
editor@jtnews.net for further details.
 
Thank you,

Foundation Semester in Washington Program internships is Nov. 2. 
 
 
Our program is now in its 11th
year. It is one of the few in Washington that not only pays a stipend but
also provides free housing in furnished apartments. Over the summer, interns
covered Justice Sonia Sotomayor s confirmation hearings, a bill signing
ceremony at the White House, debates over health care and cap and trade
legislation, Iraqi refugees, Palestinian hip hop artists, the future of
space travel, changes in the student loan program and more. In the spring,
they covered President Obama s inauguration and the first days of the new
administration.
 
 
 
Interns report for our Web-based wire and can report for campus or hometown
newspapers or other news organizations. The interns work with an experienced
Washington editor to choose, report and edit stories. We tour Washington
journalism and government institutions and have guest speakers.
 
 
 
Our program is housed by the Scripps Howard News Service. The interns live
in one of two furnished apartments near the National Zoo in Northwest
Washington. The stipend covers food, transportation and other essentials. It
is $2,350 for the 14-week spring and fall programs, $1,800 for the 10-week
summer program and $500 for the short course (open only to Hampton
University and Florida International University students).
 
 
 
Interns must be undergraduates - juniors or seniors - in the semester they
are in Washington. Students who have just graduated may apply for the short
course. Far more students apply for summer than for spring and fall.
Students with superior multimedia skills will be given preference over those
without those skills.

I am the founder of a new national magazine called JUST CAUSE. With an
editorial mission to tell the stories about individuals, organizations and
businesses that are doing something to make the world a better place, we
have a FREE digital distribution of more than a million readers. Thanks to
some innovative partnerships, our distribution is growing rapidly and we
have just started the less-fun task of selling ads and sponsorships.  Our
current issue (which was our 2nd) was focused on food, and you can Read it
Online. The Sept / Oct issue is focused on education, and is, by far, the
best one yet. We've found our rhythm and have created 100 pages of
incredible content with a variety of authors and industry leaders. 
 
I am writing because we have a tremendous opportunity for a few interns to
get in on the ground level of creating a new magazine from scratch. Ideally,
I'd like to structure something with your department that will allow a few
interns to get class credit for working with us in a variety of capacities:
creating content, editing content, developing story ideas, creating web
community and digital design production.

Not only will they get incredible experience writing and editing, but also
an in-depth understanding of the business of running a magazine and
accompanying web site. I think this is especially timely as the publishing
industry is morphing so rapidly, and this model of digital magazines is
really taking off thanks to digital readers - there is very interesting
business insight to be gleaned as they learn to balance the needs of both
readers  and advertisers, both of whom have different expectations from
traditional and digital media.
 
Our current plan is to release issues bi-monthly until January, and then
monthly thereafter. That will, of course, vary depending on revenue.
 
I would plan to work directly with interns to make sure that they are
learning and engaged.

To apply, email COVER LETTER and writing samples to editor@justcauseit.com
 
Cover letter should include some real "personality" and their thoughts on
using mainstream media as a positive force to make the world a better place.
We are  creating a new media paradigm here, not only are we shifting to
electronic publishing and linking it to online social networking, but also
working to inspire people to make change without scaring them, making them
feel guilty or thinking they need to give up everything they currently do in
their life. 
 
We're looking for like minded people.
 
The opportunities for writing, research, community building etc.... are
nearly limitless.

We typically select two summer interns, although we have had up 
to four in a summer, on various schedules.

Our internship would have you writing and reporting all types of things.
We're starting to really get into multimedia, too, so there would be some
opportunities in that area as well. You'd shadow a reporter or two on
various assignments as well, to get some depth and range. You would work
hard, but get some really good clips along the way.

If you are interested in a summer internship, we would work out when you
would want to do one (from what date to what date, and what hours) and
whether it's for school credit. I need a resume or a description of your
writing skills or such classes you have taken, and your three best clips
that show some variety in your reporting/writing skills.

Washington Trails Editorial Internship

Goals 
Washington Trails Association’s editorial internship provides a volunteer intern with an introduction to writing, research, editing, and basic layout of content in Washington Trails magazine and Washington Trails Association’s web site at www.wta.org. The internship is designed to provide students with an introduction to the basics of magazine writing and production, while also exposing students to a conservation-minded non-profit organization. Interns work directly with the editor of Washington Trails, and may provide support to other WTA staff members or volunteers as needed. The internship is designed to strike a balance between providing interns with new skills while also providing WTA with support on a variety of projects.

About WTA
Washington Trails is published ten times per year by the Washington Trails Association. WTA is the voice for hikers in Washington state. WTA protects hiking trails and wild lands, takes thousands of volunteers out to maintain trails, and promotes hiking as a healthy, fun way to explore Washington. Potential interns should familiarize themselves with the magazine and organization before applying.

Schedule
The editorial internship is an unpaid volunteer position and generally covers a 3-month period. Interns are required to spend at least some time in WTA’s offices in downtown Seattle. Hours and days are flexible, but most interns work between 8-16 hours per week. Some projects (such as phone interviews or writing articles) can be done off-site, but at least 4 hours of in-office time is required.

Projects
Emphasis is on a mix of projects, some requiring guidance and instruction, others requiring minimal supervision. Interns have generally constructed their internship based on career and academic interests. All projects will require some level of independence and the ability to self-manage tasks. Previous interns have undertaken projects such as

•	Researching and writing articles (including profiles of individuals or organizations; short news items related to hiking or recreation funding; features on hiking destinations; etc.)

•	Conducting research and reporting results on topics related to hiking, recreation trends, legislation, federal funding, wilderness use, etc.

•	Layout and editing. Basic page layout and photo preparation of magazine layouts using InDesign and Photoshop.

•	On-going editorial support. Interns are required to provide support to the magazine in the form of proofreading, fact-checking, copy editing, and other tasks.

•	Other aspects of the magazine production process that an intern could focus on include photography, advertising, or writing for the web.

Tools
WTA will provide interns with access to a computer work station, voice mail account, and an e-mail address that can be accessed both in-office and off-site.

Review
At end of the internship, interns will meet with the editor to evaluate the experience: what skills were learned, how the program could be improved, etc. WTA can provide formal student review and/or letter of reference describing how intern performed and completed projects.

To Apply
Potential interns should provide a resume, a brief cover letter describing what goals they want to achieve during the internship, and at least one writing sample. Applicants should have excellent written communication skills, familiarity with Microsoft Word, and the ability to work independently. Familiarity with hiking or active recreation is helpful.

Looking to use your journalism skills for positive change? The Mockingbird Society is looking for you, too. This non-profit organization seeks a UW journalism major to tutor youth from the Washington State Foster Care System in the art of writing articles for its monthly newsletter, The Mockingbird
Times.

REQUIREMENTS:
 
Hours: The Mockingbird Society is seeking an intern for two days a week, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The intern must be able to navigate a diverse group of youth reporters (each with a different learning style) to help each individual reporter conduct interviews and research, and compose an article in time for the monthly deadline.

This is an absolutely wonderful group of youth who create a dynamic that is occasionally challenging but always incredibly rewarding and fun.
 
Requirements: Must be able to pass a Washington State Patrol and National background check.
 
Pay Scale: Volunteer
 
Location: Mockingbird Society is located in the 2100 Building, which

Editorial Internships for College Students

Seattle Weekly has a limited number of openings each year for student interns in the editorial department. Duties depend on an intern’s aptitude, experience, and initiative but usually range from writing for publication to distributing mail. Every effort will be made to accommodate an intern’s area of interest, but Seattle Weekly cannot guarantee what duties will be assigned. Hours range from 20 to 40 per week, depending on a student’s situation. College interns are not paid and must provide for their own living arrangements and transportation. Seattle Weekly has a modest-sized staff, so self-motivated, creative problem-solvers will have the best experience.

State law prohibits us from engaging non-students as unpaid interns, and all interns must be receiving school credit for their work at Seattle Weekly. Those interested in an internship that have already graduated may be eligible for a fellowship position. Please visit the Village Voice Media website for further details. Interns are expected to abide by any and all policies and standards that govern paid employees of Seattle Weekly and Village Voice Media. It is recommended that interns read The Elements of Journalism: What Newspeople Should Know and the Public Should Expect, by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel, and that they own and be familiar with The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law. Due to the degree of federal paperwork involved, we cannot accommodate students who are not U.S. citizens.

As a rough schedule, we divide the year into thirds—September-December (application deadline July 1), January-May (Nov. 1), and June-August (Feb. 1)—but we are flexible on dates. Interns will be chosen based on their experience, potential, ability to write, and, in many cases, familiarity with Seattle and/or the Northwest. It is not necessary to be in a journalism or communications program, but a high level of literacy is required. Applications should include:

•	A letter explaining why the student is interested in a Seattle Weekly internship and what she/he hopes to learn.
•	Available dates.
•	A detailed resume listing areas of study and accomplishments, and all work experience.
•	Samples of writing, published or otherwise.
•	Any other information that completes our picture of the applicant’s potential, including letters of recommendation.

Applications should be mailed to:

The American Society of Magazine Editors sponsors a ten-week summer internship program for college juniors each year. 

The internship program is intended for editorially oriented students. The emphasis is on editing magazines, and includes the performance under supervision of such tasks as handling reader mail, evaluating unsolicited manuscripts, researching articles, checking facts, proofreading, copy editing, interviewing, covering press conferences, and attending editorial meetings. At a number of magazines, there may also be reporting and writing opportunities, even a few bylines. Some interns have the opportunity to see how the circulation, advertising and other business departments of the magazine function. 
The program begins with a two-and-a-half day orientation in New York, during which the interns get to know each other; hear from top editors and other magazine executives about magazine editing and publishing; and meet alumni of the program who talk about magazine jobs and living in and enjoying the city. A brief orientation meeting is also held in Washington, D.C. for interns assigned there.
During the program there are weekly luncheons where interns meet and visit with a varied group of editors and other magazine professionals..
Each intern is asked to submit a written report by the final day of the internship on his/her specific work experience, suggestions for the program, and comments on journalism education.

Selection of Interns 
Students are selected for the Magazine Internship Program on the basis of their complete application package. Strong consideration is given to heavy involvement in journalism and interest in magazine work.
NOTE:  Applicants must have completed their junior year of college by June 2009 and be entering their full senior year in the fall of 2009.
•	Journalism majors should have taken some courses in reporting, writing and editing. It helps if they have worked on the campus magazine, newspaper or yearbook, preferably in a responsible editorial position. A summer job or internship in journalism is a good addition. 
•	Liberal arts majors must have held a senior position on the campus magazine, newspaper or yearbook and have had at least one summer job or internship in journalism. 
Assignments to Magazines

Students accepted into the program are assigned to publications based on their skills and the preferences of participating editors. It may not be possible to assign a magazine according to an applicant's preferences. If an applicant refuses his/her assignment, ASME will offer the spot to another applicant.
Because of the diversity and specialization of the magazine publishing business, internships will be offered by some magazines not well known to the applicants. Editors will write the intern assigned to them, acquainting the student with the magazine and its operations, prior to the start of the program.

Finances and Housing

Interns become temporary employees of the magazines to which they are assigned and are paid a minimum stipend of $350 a week before deductions. Interns must realize that the stipend they receive may not cover all their expenses and certainly will not contribute financially to their schooling.
Interns are responsible for their own travel, housing, food, and personal expenses. ASME will assist in making dormitory arrangements in New York and Washington, D.C. Students who come from the area may, of course, live at home.
A majority of the interns stay in a New York University dormitory.
Deadline to apply is Nov. 15, 2008 (postmarked date)

Please submit your materials to the Undergraduate Advising Office for us to send in.  Full packets are in CMU 118.

Alaska Airlines Magazine 
Horizon Air Magazine

SEATTLE-BASED IN-FLIGHT MAGAZINE PUBLISHER SEEKS EDITORIAL INTERNS


Paradigm Communications Group, the Seattle-based publisher of Alaska Airlines Magazine and Horizon Air Magazine, is seeking editorial interns for the fall and winter quarters (fall internships typically run from October through December; winter internships typically run from January through March). Interns at Paradigm Communications have the opportunity to write several short articles, which are published with the intern’s byline, in in-flight magazines that are viewed by as many as a million travelers per month each. 
 
Editorial internships are opportunities for aspiring journalists to acquire professional experience, to work closely with editors and to learn about all phases of magazine publishing. The internships are unpaid, and are typically 20 hours per week. The internship is open to all—students and non-students. For students, the internship supervisor can work with advisors to provide college credit for the internship experience. 

Interns research story concepts, conduct interviews and write articles. They also check facts, help with special sections, develop event calendars and sometimes write sidebars for larger stories. In addition, they assist with editorial research and art queries. Clerical duties are minimal, but interns do perform some general office tasks.

We are looking for applicants who are meticulous about accuracy; this is especially important for verifying facts, but it applies to spelling, punctuation and usage. Applicants should have solid writing experience; enjoy conducting in-depth research about a wide variety of subjects; exhibit interest in learning about the magazine industry; and possess strong communication skills. Applicants also need to be able to take direction. They will gain valuable self-editing and rewriting skills, enabling them to produce content that meets the needs of editors and the readership. Writing or editing experience in newspapers or magazines is an asset, although any writing experience, including coursework, can be considered for the internship.

Internship hours are flexible, but we ask that interns work a fixed schedule, typically two full days and a half-day each week. Our office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a one-hour lunch break. 

To apply, please send a cover letter including information about your writing background and why you are interested in the position (as well as mention of your major and your year in school, if applicable), a resume and at least two non-returnable writing samples.

Historical research

The Robinson Newspapers have two books, prepared in the late 1980's, that chronicle the history of Ballard and West Seattle respectively. These books are in need of an update as part of a project to move this content online and create an entirely new kind of local history. 
The first part of the work requires reviewing the printed archives of the last 20 years, to earmark pages with stories deemed to have historical significance. This part of the project should take 2 to 3 weeks. 
The second part of the project will involve the consolidation of collected stories into the history articles that will appear in the final product. This part of the project should take 4 to 6 weeks. The third part of the project involves working with local historical societies and seeking individuals for the recording of oral histories/recollections of events in the history of each area. This effort will be ongoing but should last 6 to 8 weeks to form a base of core interviews and recordings that will later appear in both an online and DVD version of the history of these communities.

About Brave New World Inc:
Brave New World, Inc. is a multi-faceted entertainment company that includes records, music/film production, marketing, publishing and management divisions. In 2008 the company’s President/CEO, Shyan Selah, was named Spokesperson and COO of the Jimi Hendrix Foundation, a non-profit organization.

About Shyan Selah:
Shyan Selah is a true artist whose goal is to create an urban music crusade in a world where much of urban music has become at best stagnant and at worst soulless. He’s spent years shrewdly navigating the music industry and has gained the respect of major industry leaders and insiders simply by conveying this simple message: Be Brave, a concept that applies to Shyan not just as an artist, but also as the President and CEO of Brave New World. In 2008 Shyan sealed a new label-to-label deal with KOCH Entertainment to release his premiere album, Brave New World.

Alaska Airlines Magazine and Horizon Air Magazine

SEATTLE-BASED IN-FLIGHT MAGAZINE PUBLISHER SEEKS EDITORIAL INTERNS


Paradigm Communications Group, the Seattle-based publisher of Alaska Airlines Magazine and Horizon Air Magazine, is seeking editorial interns for the fall and winter quarters (fall internships typically run from October through December; winter internships typically run from January through March). Interns at Paradigm Communications have the opportunity to write several short articles, which are published with the intern’s byline, in in-flight magazines that are each viewed by as many as a million travelers per month. 
 
Editorial internships are opportunities for aspiring journalists to acquire professional experience, to work closely with editors and to learn about all phases of magazine publishing. The internships are unpaid, and are typically 20 hours per week. The internship is open to all—students and non-students. For students, the internship supervisor can work with advisors to provide college credit for the internship experience. 

Interns research story concepts, conduct interviews and write articles. They also check facts, help with special sections, develop event calendars and sometimes write sidebars for larger stories. In addition, they assist with editorial research and art queries. Clerical duties are minimal, but interns do occasionally perform some general office tasks.

We are looking for applicants who are meticulous about accuracy; this is especially important for verifying facts, but it applies to spelling, punctuation and usage. Applicants should have solid writing experience; enjoy conducting in-depth research about a wide variety of subjects; exhibit interest in learning about the magazine industry; and possess strong communication skills. Applicants also need to be able to take direction. They will gain valuable self-editing and rewriting skills, enabling them to produce content that meets the needs of editors and the readership. Writing or editing experience in newspapers or magazines is an asset, although any writing experience, including coursework, can be considered for the internship.

Internship hours are flexible, but we ask that interns work a fixed schedule, typically two full days and a half-day each week. Our office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a one-hour lunch break. 

To apply, please send a cover letter including information about your writing background and why you are interested in the position (as well as mention of your major and your year in school, if applicable), a resume and at least two non-returnable writing samples. Please mail or e-mail your materials to:

SEATTLE-BASED IN-FLIGHT MAGAZINE PUBLISHER SEEKS EDITORIAL INTERNS


Paradigm Communications Group, the Seattle-based publisher of Alaska Airlines Magazine and Horizon Air Magazine, is seeking editorial interns for the summer, fall and winter quarters (summer internships typically run from July through September; fall internships typically run from October through December; winter internships typically run from January through March). Interns at Paradigm Communications have the opportunity to write several short articles, which are published with the intern’s byline, in in-flight magazines that are viewed by as many as a million travelers per month each. 
 
Editorial internships are opportunities for aspiring journalists to acquire professional experience, to work closely with editors and to learn about all phases of magazine publishing. The internships are unpaid, and are typically 20 hours per week. The internship is open to all—students and non-students. For students, the internship supervisor can work with advisors to provide college credit for the internship experience. 

Interns research story concepts, conduct interviews and write articles. They also check facts, help with special sections, develop event calendars and sometimes write sidebars for larger stories. In addition, they assist with editorial research and art queries. Clerical duties are minimal, but interns do occasionally perform some general office tasks.

We are looking for applicants who are meticulous about accuracy; this is especially important for verifying facts, but it applies to spelling, punctuation and usage. Applicants should have solid writing experience; enjoy conducting in-depth research about a wide variety of subjects; exhibit interest in learning about the magazine industry; and possess strong communication skills. Applicants also need to be able to take direction. They will gain valuable self-editing and rewriting skills, enabling them to produce content that meets the needs of editors and the readership. Writing or editing experience in newspapers or magazines is an asset, although any writing experience, including coursework, can be considered for the internship.

Internship hours are flexible, but we ask that interns work a fixed schedule, typically two full days and a half-day each week. Our office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a one-hour lunch break. 

To apply, please send a cover letter including information about your writing background and why you are interested in the position (as well as mention of your major and your year in school, if applicable), a resume and at least two non-returnable writing samples. Please mail or e-mail your materials to:

My name is Joe Gordon and I'm the Operations Manager for DeBartolo Sports
University, a newly formed amateur sports division of DeBartolo Holdings,
LLC.  Under the leadership of renowned quarterback expert Steve Clarkson,
our focus is on bringing new, young talent to the forefront through
unparalleled, first-class developmental programs designed to promote
amateur athletes and coaches by helping them reach their potential
through coaching and mentoring from the pros.  Our training and
development experts have not only played and coached at the highest
professional level, but have trained some of the most successful
professional athletes such as Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart, Ben
Roethlisberger, LeShon Johnson, and J.P. Losman.

 

The best method we currently utilize in promoting athletes is through our
website, www.debartolosportsuniversity.com.  From this Internet location,
we have two sites that feature slightly different football content:
www.steveclarksonqbacademy.com, offering articles and information
specifically catering to the quarterback position; and
www.debartolofootballacademy.com, offering the same subject matter but
for non-quarterbacks.  As a new entity hoping to be the destination for
all youth, high school and college football players, as well as the
masses that are deeply interested in the sport, we are implementing a
program that would be mutually beneficial to our organization and your
students. 

 

Starting in late August 2008, DeBartolo Sports University will be looking
to increase our football coverage beyond those athletes who participate
in private training with us or have attended one of our football camps. 
To accomplish this feat, we are looking for young journalists with an
interest in sports and the need to gain some much needed experience in
honing their craft.  We would look for these individuals to file stories
from football games in their area that we would post on our websites. 
These articles will highlight athletes that we identify or those players
that are regarded as the best in your area and/or state.  This endeavor
allows DeBartolo Sports University to highlight/feature more athletes,
while giving your students the opportunity to establish and build their
portfolios for their future endeavors.  We believe this is the perfect
opportunity for any student who needs an internship as part of their
graduation requirements.  We will offer a stipend to cover any expenses,
as well as a financial award for their efforts - if necessary. 

 

DeBartolo Sports University is excited about the future with a goal of
working with and associating with the best athletes, schools and
organizations across the country.  We are also determined to affiliate
ourselves with the best and brightest up-and-coming writers in the
business.  We hope that you, your students and the administrators at the
University of Washington opt to participate in this program.  It would be
a start of a potentially fruitful relationship now and in the future. 
Please feel free to contact me by phone at 626-204-2454 or via email at
jgordon@debartolosports.com.  I would be more than happy to answer any
questions and provide further details on this very special program.

Earlier this year we started a scuba news service
(http://www.scubagadget.com ). We are in need of reporters, editors and
other staff. The site is currently just a non-funded service to the dive
community so there is no pay at this time. If you have any students that
would like to intern with us or even informally report for us please let me
know. We are trying to build this service into the CNN for scuba enthusiasts
and the dive industry, so there is a lot of room for interns to express
their creativity.

My name is Nicholas Agius and I work for Francis Ford Coppola Presents in Napa,
California.  I am reaching out to you today because we are developing a
journalism internship to coincide with the launch of a new brand, Encyclopedia
Wines.

The concept behind these wines is based upon what Francis heard from his
granddaughter, who is 21 and just now discovering wine. Francis wants to educate
young wine drinkers on wine, and offer them a chance to openly discuss the
subject and discover on their level and terms, without intimidation from some of
the more traditional wine education programs.

In doing this, Francis wanted to be able to offer an 'award' to the best
journalism students with an internship focusing on reports of wine and its
relation to history, politics, religion, health, gastronomy, geography,
agriculture, myth, pleasure, oenology, travel and love.

We are currently still working out many of the specific details of the
internship, but this opportunity is unique in that we may be able to offer
multiple internships and will be more than willing to work with each
journalist's schedule and strengths. We are initially hoping to begin reviewing
applications on June 30. This is by no means a deadline however, as we will
continue to accept applications throughout the summer.

We see the internship lasting 4-6 months with 1-2 weeklong reporting trips to
yet-to-be-determined wine regions around the world in the plans. Interns will
not need to relocate for the internship but are expected to travel on their own,
unsupervised, and we feel a self-starter attitude is critical to success.

For reference, interested applicants can visit our 'teaser' website,
www.knoWine.com.  There they will find  some reports that I was fortunate to
have had the opportunity to create when I was sent off to discover 'Wine is..'
last year as a way for us to see what it might require to launch our Internship.
While the examples on the website are at times less serious, we are looking for
dedicated young journalism students, and we do not plan on making them or their
reports into Marketing tools. Francis is very genuine and sincere regarding his
intention to award the best young journalism students in the country with this
journalistic opportunity.

The students finished reports will be published on our full website, which is
slated for completion in mid-July and is designed to become a comprehensive site
that focuses on wine education, travel and the reports from these young
journalists.

(Must be 21 to do this.)
