Tech Writing Internship at Ingeniux

The Documentation Department at Ingeniux is currently hiring technical writing interns. As a tech writing intern, you would help produce user manuals, training manuals, website content, and other documentation assets. 

If you’re a great writer with a knack for learning new technology fast, this is an opportunity to get your foot in the door of the software industry.

Responsibilities
Ingeniux builds web experience management software for enterprises and organizations. The Documentation Department produces content targeted for divergent levels of technical fluency. We write everything from help text to API documentation. As a result, we have to know how to communicate with both end users and software engineers.

We’re looking for interns who possess the following qualities:
•	The ability to write lucid, engaging prose about complex software platforms. (To get a sense of what we’re looking for, take a look at the Microsoft Developer Network: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/).
•	An aptitude for learning new technologies quickly and thoroughly.
•	The ability to finish projects and meet deadlines without a lot of supervision.
•	Obsessive attention to detail.
•	A basic understanding of how websites work. Ideally, you’ll have some experience with HTML/CSS and perhaps with a blogging platform as well.
•	Intermediate to advanced competence with Microsoft Word.
The ideal candidate will show promise in both the technical and writerly aspects of the position. Much of the technology can be learned on the job, but the writing chops you have to bring with you. Also, if you have experience producing web videos or other online learning assets, we’d love to hear about it.

About the Position
The internship is a year-long, paid position contingent upon satisfactory performance. We anticipate that interns will work up to 20 hours per week.

You will become familiar with the varied pace of a magazine’s production schedule, and learn about all that goes into creating a magazine, from start to finish.

No two internships are the same. To some extent, you will be given responsibilities based on your strengths and your initiative. Projects might include (but are not limited to): fact-checking stories, helping with research on major projects, writing short pieces, conducting interviews, attending events, researching story leads, uploading web content, contributing to website blogs and writing online articles.

Seattle magazine interns gain real-world experience, skills and mentoring, and often go on to build successful media careers. Past interns are currently working at Vanity Fair, Travel + Leisure, Lucky magazine, Cosmopolitan, Budget Living, Outside magazine, Seattle Homes and Lifestyles, CityArts, Seattle Health magazine, Daily Candy, Sasquatch Books, Richard Hugo House and the Boise Weekly.

“I recommend this internship to anyone who wants to get experience in the magazine world, and have a great time doing so. One of the best parts is that interns get to experience a little bit of everything…I’ve been given a lot of independence—no one is constantly looking over my shoulder, worried that I won’t do well enough. This has allowed me to take chances and be creative. At the same time, it’s an encouraging environment, and the editors are always available to help. I have really enjoyed my time here, and I feel much more confident about seeking jobs in writing and editing with this professional experience.”

—Shawna Leader, intern, September, 2011–March, 2012

Interns at Rick Steves work part-time from 10 to 19 hours per week on everything from data-heavy work (fact-checking, organizing feedback, formatting files) to proofreading text and maps for our guidebooks and websites. Depending on the intern’s expertise, various writing and editing tasks are also assigned, such as writing for the media or basic editing of guidebook content. The intern will work with a supervisor and acquire skills needed to succeed in a communication-related career. While this is an unpaid internship, it is designed as a learning experience, and we require that our interns earn college credit for their work.

We are seeking journalism/communication majors who have had at least one writing or editing course. Experience writing and editing in print or for online publications is preferred. Candidates must be proficient in Microsoft Word. Proficiency in French, German, Italian, or Spanish, while not essential, is a plus. We are seeking one or two interns for Spring Quarter. The internship will run March 26-June 1, 2012.

Rick Steves’ Europe provides a casual, interpersonally rewarding work environment in scenic Edmonds, Washington, about 20 minutes north of Seattle. We are dedicated to the cause of smart travel.

Seattle Business magazine

1518 First Ave. S., Suite 500, Seattle, WA 98134

Magazine Internship Opportunity

Seattle Business magazine is a monthly publication that seeks to educate and enlighten its readers, most of whom are in a management role at a small or midsize business. We are primarily a magazine about movers and shakers throughout Washington state, from large businesses to innovative startups, always looking for boundary-pushing stories on economics, health care, nonprofits and public policy. Our goal is to be the best regional business publication in the country by covering business and the economy with intelligence, depth and timeliness. 

Our internship program is an important part of achieving those goals. Interns at Seattle Business work closely with the editorial team to craft each issue. We practice journalism in its purest form: We want to find out and tell our readers what is really happening, why it is happening and what may happen in the future, and we tell these stories with thorough reporting and compelling writing. 

Responsibilities
As an editorial intern, you are likely to have a memorable experience shaped by your particular strengths and initiative. Typical intern responsibilities include fact-checking all stories with primary sources (we have an established procedure for this, but it does involves a fair amount of phone/email work), writing much of the front “Startup” section of each issue and compiling the business events calendar. Interns are also called upon to write blog posts for the website, develop and research story ideas, attend editorial department brainstorming and planning meetings, conduct interviews, perform other editorial-related clerical work, and write longer stories for the magazine. Interns usually work on a six-month contract for 20 hours per week. A $100 stipend is paid at the end of the internship.

What do you get out of it?
Knowledge, experience and a great set of clips. Specifically, if you are interested in journalism, you will find yourself working both as a writer and editor alongside professionals who will take your improvement to heart. We want to see you develop as a member of our team and undertake more and larger responsibilities. Business journalism, in particular, poses its own distinctive set of challenges, and it is an ideal proving ground for those who like pursuing stories about big ideas that shape the economy of the state and the lives of people who live here. At the heart of every story, however, are people, and you will find yourself talking with many different kinds, some of whom have cool ideas, some of whom might be a bit loopy, but all of whom have an interesting story to tell. That, at the end of the day, is what we’re doing here at Seattle Business: telling interesting stories.

Application Procedure
Send a completed application with your résumé and your best writing samples to:

	John Levesque, managing editor
	Seattle Business magazine
	1518 First Ave. S., Suite 500
	Seattle, WA 98134

A1 bylines during her internship. She also worked with our schools reporter
Debbie Cafazzo on one of our most important news stories of 2011 - the
Tacoma School District strike. Our 2010 features intern, Keegan Prosser,
wrote numerous cover stories for the entertainment sections, which later
helped her secure an internship with Rollingstone.com.
 
The internship is unpaid and students must receive some sort of credit or
fulfill some kind of academic requirement for completing the internship. We
will negotiate the terms for every internship. Interns should be entering
their junior or senior years. Students must be actively enrolled in a
university program to be considered. Interns should have their own cars and
must provide their own housing.
 
We look forward to hearing from you.
 
Thank you,

We are accepting applications for the winter quarter copyediting internship

This is a great opportunity for a student wanting to hone not just his or
her copyediting skills but also news judgment. The intern will coordinate
the Seattle Times letters to the editor, including publishing them on The
Seattle Times Northwest Voices blog, and work with a seasoned copyeditor
(and excellent coach, by the way). In addition, interns are welcome to
attend the editorial board's pitch meeting at least once a week; and any
editorial board meetings with outside guests, which may include elected
state or local officials.
 
Attached is a description of the internship and directions for how students
can apply. Deadline for applications is Nov. 15.

Application deadlines for these college-credit internships are May 21 for summer and fall quarters, November 15 for winter quarter and February 28 for spring quarter.  

Candidates must have a knowledge of journalism through classes or equivalent experience.  They must be accurate, able to meet fast deadlines, ethical, responsive to constructive feedback and able to function both independently and as part of a team.  Strong language skills and news judgment are required.  

A work schedule can be mutually agreed upon that is flexible around student class time.  To get a true feel for the pace of metro journalism, candidates are encouraged to spend at least 15-20 hours weekly in this for-credit internship.

Sound Publishing is currently looking for two editorial interns for winter quarter. Interns will work on The Bellevue Reporter

newspaper (a weekly) and its specialty publication, Bellevue Scene magazine (a monthly). Both publications are online and in print,

with a circulation of 45,000 homes in East King County. The internship will expose students to the journalism industry and reporter career path.  

A successful candidate:

This unpaid internship is available to college sophomores, juniors or seniors who need to receive college credit for their major.

The successful candidate will have experience in news writing, features and enterprise reporting. They will have been published

already in a student newspaper or magazine. They must have a reliable car (and will be compensated for travel expenses on the job). Priority will be given to those with InDesign experience. Basic photography and Photoshop skills are not required, but helpful.   

At a glance:

The news/arts/entertainment internship is an unpaid, fast-paced, hands-on internship for the serious journalism student interested

in pursuing a career in newspapers, magazines or communications. You will be expected to write news stories and

features, edit, take photos, maintain social media accounts and blog. Half your time will be spent working as a general assignment

reporter, and the other half will be helping to produce the magazine. This is a great opportunity for students to work on any

aspects of their portfolio they feel are lacking before entering the professional world. 

Important information:

The intern's responsibilities will link to substantive communication industry practices: e.g., writing for media. Interns will not be used for personal errands; or tasks that require little skill or have no relation to communication industry practices. The student will work with an editor and reporters who will mentor students and teach skills needed to succeed in the journalism industry and career path. The student will have an opportunity to apply his or her knowledge of communication/journalism processes and theories to practice.   

The student will work in a professional setting (The Bellevue Reporter/Bellevue Scene offices) where they will experience the "soft skills" related to professional behavior. At the end of the internship, the student will have writing, photography and design clips and experience maintaining a website and social networking accounts to add to his or her resume and portfolio. 

Receiving credit:

According to Federal law, this internship will not constitute "free labor"; that is, an intern will not be used to replace a paid employee position in order for the The Bellevue Reporter/Bellevue Scene to save money. This internship is strictly a "value-added" position, not essential to the viability of Sound Publishing. 

This unpaid internship is for credit only. To receive academic credit, interns must work no less than eight and no more than 20 hours, on average, per week. Interns will not be asked to work overtime, in accordance with the UW's guidelines. While this internship is unpaid, students' on-the-job travel expenses will be compensated.  

To apply:

Students should submit a cover letter, resume and at least four writing samples that showcase their ability to write news and

features to gnomura@bellevuereporter.com.

Information for journalism department:

The intern must provide something from his or her school which outlines and specifies the length of the Internship Program; indicates

they will be receiving credit; and will be signed by the school program administrator, the student, and the editor or publisher.

Public Data Ferret Fall 2011 internships

1) INTERNSHIP BACKGROUND/ORGANIZATIONAL INFO.

The Seattle-based non-profit news knowledge base project Public Data Ferret
is seeking several unpaid student interns for Fall 2011. Interns will be
under the supervision of Public Data Ferret founder and editor-in-chief Matt
Rosenberg, who has 27 years professional experience in journalism,
communications and public policy. Public Data Ferret is a project of the
non-profit Public Eye Northwest, which works to foster digital civic
literacy and voluntary government transparency. The Public Data Ferret site
produces synopses of recent, high-news-value public documents and data,
which are then archived by jurisdiction and topic and serve as an
information resource to community stakeholders, journalists and bloggers,
researchers and others. Public Data Ferret is a member of the Seattle Times
news partner network. Our work is linked to at the Times' Web site - on a
special partners page and not infrequently on the site's main page. Public
Data Ferret's work has also been widely featured in other media. See:
http://socialcapitalreview.org/public-data-ferret-in-the-news/ Public Data
Ferret's aim is to pinpoint and daylight important news from government
documents and records which might otherwise slip through the cracks, while
also creating a trustworthy online public affairs news knowledge base, and
contributing to an ethos of objectivity in order to help counteract rabid
hyper-partisanship in online political dialog.

systems which make it easier for people to get informed and engaged in
representative democracy. Familiarity with WordPress or other major blogging
platforms, and knowledge of basic HTML required. Internships will start no
later than Oct. 17, 2011 and run through the end of first semester with time

video and/or graphics into online written entries, under Rosenberg's
direction. Business meetings and joint work sessions will be held at

SEATTLE-BASED IN-FLIGHT MAGAZINE PUBLISHER SEEKS EDITORIAL INTERNS

Paradigm Communications Group, the Seattle-based publisher of Alaska Airlines Magazine and Horizon Edition Magazine, is seeking editorial interns for the fall quarter (fall internships typically run from October through December). 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.

GAIN THE EXPERIENCE OF BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM BEAT WRITER THIS WINTER!

The National Lacrosse League (NLL) is looking for an aspiring professional sportswriter to serve as the league’s beat writer for the Washington Stealth during the 2011 NLL season, which starts on January 14th.   This internship position will give you the valuable experience of serving as the beat writer for a professional sports team for a full season, from training camp through the regular season and the playoffs.  The beat writer will cover the team for NLL.com, the official website of the National Lacrosse League.  Your stories will be read by thousands of fans each week.

The NLL regular season consists of 16 weeks, starting on January 14th. Each team plays eight home and eight away games, very similar to an NFL schedule.  All games are played on the weekends, primarily on Friday or Saturday night.

When the Stealth play at home (at Comcast Arena in Everett), you will be at the game, cover it as a credentialed member of the media, and conduct post-game interviews with a small, hand-held Flip Cam (size of an iPhone) that we provide. Your post-game story for NLL.com will include player quotes, which you’ll also upload to the website’s video player after the game.
When the Stealth are on the road, you’ll watch the game live via the online video broadcast at NLL.com.  You’ll then write a short, AP style summary of the game that will be posted on the league website.

During the week, you will write a short game preview story that will post on the website by Thursday (in advance of the weekend’s game).  To help in preparing this preview, you’ll have the opportunity to join other media professionals on the league’s weekly head coaches media conference call.  Held on Wednesday at 1pm Eastern, the call allows media to hear from your team’s coach as well as the opposing team’s coach in a quick and easy ten-minute time block, where both coaches talk about the upcoming matchup and answer any questions.

As the season progresses, we’ll look for you to provide two feature stories on your team. Each team has interesting story lines and players with interesting lives outside of lacrosse, and we’ll help you identify those potential stories.  You’ll also use social media (facebook & twitter) to further engage your readers, posting breaking news and open-ended questions for fan reaction (i.e., what did you think of this signing? Or this trade? Etc.)

Benefits:
Full-Season Credentials to cover the team in the same manner as the local professional sports writers, with a level of accessibility to the teams and players not provided to interns in other professional leagues
Your writing skills will improve, as our pros will provide you feedback on your stories each week
Learn how to successfully interact and gain confidence in dealing with professional athletes and coaches
Several of our writers have moved on to be hired by teams and/or the league for additional writing assignments.  Interested parties should contact League VP of Communications Doug Fritts via email at dfritts@nll.com  as soon as possible.  This is an unpaid internship, but may be done for credits (we will provide evaluations, letters of recommendation or whatever is requested by your college). 

The 2012 regular season schedule will be announced soon and appear on the league’s official website, www.NLL.com. 

The National Lacrosse League (NLL) is North America's professional indoor lacrosse league, featuring the best lacrosse players in the world. Founded in 1987, the league opens its 26th season in January 2012.  Average attendance for the 2011 season was close to 10,000 fans per game, with several games played in front of crowds in excess of 16,000 fans. The NLL has nine teams playing in major markets of the United States and Canada:  Buffalo Bandits, Calgary Roughnecks, Colorado Mammoth, Edmonton Rush, Minnesota Swarm, Philadelphia Wings, Rochester Knighthawks, Toronto Rock and Washington Stealth.

The Untz (About Us):

As fans of electronic music, we were frustrated having to search so many websites to find the information we were looking for.  Specifically, we wanted to track our favorite artists, search upcoming local area events, and listen to music samples from a variety of electronic music genres.  We wanted to visit one website for all of our electronic music informational needs.  The Untz was created to fill this void.

The Untz connects the entire electronic music community of fans, artists, labels and promoters.  The website is designed to allow artists and promoters to add information and music.  We organize all of this information so fans can easily search for, track, and share it.  Social media and networking adds a whole other dimension to our connectivity.

A note for UW Students:

Interns with TheUntz.com will not receive an hourly wage or stipend, but will instead be offered guest passes and free tickets to attend concerts and festivals. While there is no pay, interns will have plenty of portfolio materials between performance and album reviews, interviews, and multimedia features. Interns do not have to report to a central office, but rather will cover the electronic music scene from their region. Additionally, each intern will report on a weekly basis to editor in chief Anand Harsh regarding his or her output. He will take those opportunities to help interns with their writing, or other aspects of their output.

Network of Street Newspapers (INSP) out of San Francisco for many years
before coming to Washington for her Phd.  INSP contacted her about a year
ago and asked her to start this workshop up here in Seattle in hopes of
getting more vendors to write in the Real Change paper instead of just
selling it.  She has been working with Tim Harris of Real Change to get the
workshop off and running.  It has been a great success so far with many of
our journalists making PNN covers and really effecting the Seattle homeless
and low income community and giving voice to those who have been
traditionally silenced in the journalism community.  We are only two people
and are trying to graduate as well from our own programs here at the
University of Washington, but are dedicated to keeping this workshop going
and getting our journalists published.

GTCB - Communication Internship:
  
  GuideToCoachingBasketball.com (GTCB) and its affiliated websites are one of  the most visited and established resources for basketball and sports related content on the internet. Founded in 1993, these sites hold extremely high rank within all major search engines and currently draw over one million
unique visitors every year. GTCB is currently in the process of updating these sites and transforming them into a powerful news content source. We are looking for a small team of interns that want to publish immediately to a large audience and make a lasting contribution to this transition.
  
  GTCB has established three primary components to making this vision successful. The first step is to publish multiple articles related to sports on a daily basis. Although our sites have high daily traffic, there is a lack in loyalty that we feel a regular news reader will bring. The second objective is to incorporate social media including initiatives to drive viral content and video within the site and individual articles themselves.

  GTCB is in the unique position of having one of the top social marketing experts in the US as a founding member of the company. Interns will have the opportunity to use this in-house expertise and guidance as a resource in developing their work.  The final component is updating the coaching related content itself. The majority of our readers are currently male and between
the ages of 25 to 45. Most our current visitors are drawn from searches revolving around youth sports and coaching. We provide content for "first time" coaches or parents looking for content to help in the coaching process. We would like to actively update the content and to have articles tie in to this content whenever possible.  However, we do not want to be limited to this audience and/or content base in the long term. GTCB plans to grow into other targeted audiences including general sports enthusiasts and/or fans and players of all levels and age groups as we build our reader base.
  
  Please submit a resume and/or a selection of writing samples that demonstrate your qualification. Please also include a brief description of your availability to write articles or preform other writing assignments for the sites. We would like a minimum commitment of two concise articles per week and/or contributing to other content related initiatives on the sites. All work will be clearly contributed to the author or creator. This internship will be a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor and help grow our already established visitor base of over a million readers into a major sports news source on a national and international level.  
  
  Please note that this internship would be an unpaid position. We only require occasional meetings that will be held at our office in Seattle. GTCB will be extremely flexible with internship meeting requirements and will try to perform the majority of collaboration via email and phone. GTCB plans to select some volunteer interns for compensated writing assignments as the  site meets benchmarks and revenue allows.
  
  Please let us know if you have any further questions about the position and submit all applications to the contact details below.

The Enterprise Newspaper summer 2011 internship opportunities

The Enterprise Newspaper covers four communities in south Snohomish County. Our official motto is “Daily Life, Every Week.” Our unofficial motto is “If it can happen, it’ll happen here.” We publish weekly on Wednesdays, distributing a total of 50,000 copies. We are a division of the The Daily Herald newspaper in Everett, Wash., which is owned by The Washington Post.

We have opportunities for three people to fill three six-week internships running consecutively from mid-June to mid-September. There is some flexibility on start dates. While these are unpaid internships (you will be reimbursed for mileage and expenses), they provide great experience in all real aspects of the job, including reporting, writing and layout --- no clerk work! Besides earning your internship credits, you’ll come out with experience and a variety of clips.

Currently we use Adobe InCopy for writing, Adobe InDesign for layout, digital photography and Photoshop for images. We also have the normal suite of Microsoft applications.

We’re a tight-knit, supportive and team-oriented newsroom that will, at the risk of creating an anatomically impossible metaphor, let you try your wings and hold your hand at the same time.

Send a cover letter, résumé, clips, contact information, references and preferred dates of availability. The application deadline is 5 p.m., May 2. We intend to contact appropriate candidates for interviews and have decisions made by the end of May or early June.

How long internships last is really up to you (we will ALWAYS have things to do) but we are looking for a minimum of seven hours a week in help needed, and the maximum is really up to the student. With us, a student can   expect to gain experience in work with Wordpress (our website application), Open X (our banner ad application), SMF (our messageboard application), HTML and coding. Knowledge of story editing, writing, and creative thinking will be learned and a student will be introduced to the world of PR/Marketing and Advertising with us as well.
  
If a student feels like only certain aspects of this job would be   appealing or a best suit for them, then we will work with the student to make this partnership happen. Where the student lives is not important, however daily access to an email account is required.

2011Spring photography internship

UDubSports.com, a network affiliate of Rivals.com, is offering an unpaid  photography internship to help with the coverage of University of Washington athletics. The spring internship is geared to be for two or four credits and will focus on helping with spring football coverage of the Washington Huskies.

The internship will involve shooting portraits, action and features centered around Huskies spring football. Most often, photos would need to be edited and posted on the website on the same day.

The spring internship will start once spring semester begins. Spring football starts March 29 and runs each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for five weeks, culminating with the spring game April 30.

This internship is not designed for one person to cover all of these dates but rather to share responsibility and perhaps take on a particular day of the week for those five weeks. There will be opportunities to shoot other subjects, including potential Huskies recruits, after spring football is over.

The ideal candidate for this specific internship is a student with digital photo shooting and editing training who also has at least a basic understanding of football. It’s a bonus if this candidate is familiar with the team. Access to university equipment and photo editing software would be ideal, but that would be subject to university approval for use exclusive to the internship.

The intern may expect regular feedback and training to upload photos on to the website. Other projects may include photo galleries of practices as well as portraits for players’ database profiles. Your own creative ideas are very much encouraged.

If you’re interested, please contract UDubSports.com publisher Ron Newberry by sending an e-mail explaining why you’d be a good candidate plus an attached resume to ronnewberry@live.com.

2011 Spring football reporting internship

UDubSports.com, a network affiliate of Rivals.com, is offering an unpaid internship to help with the coverage of University of Washington athletics. The spring internship is geared to be for two or four credits and will focus on helping with spring football coverage of the Washington Huskies. This will involve short report writing or practice reports and might include analysis and feature writing. It also might involve stories on Husky football and basketball recruits.

The ideal candidate for this specific internship is a communications student with some news writing training who is familiar with the Huskies football team and knowledgeable about football. These are desired qualities, not required.

The spring internship will start once spring semester begins. Spring football starts March 29 and runs each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for five weeks, culminating with the spring game April 30.

This internship is not designed for someone to cover all of these dates but rather to share responsibility and perhaps take on a particular day of the week, particularly if it’s for two credits. However, the writing from that day’s reporting will be expected to be published on the website later that day. Feature stories will be mostly likely given more time and involve more indepth reporting.

The intern might be asked to aid in video and audio work, particularly in regard to player and coach interviews and press conferences.

A tape recorder is an essential tool for reporting and will be required.

The intern may expect regular feedback. Any writing submissions will be edited before published with feedback provided as well.

If you’re interested, please contract UDubSports.com publisher Ron Newberry by sending an e-mail explaining why you’d be a good candidate plus an attached resume to ronnewberry@live.com.

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 an editorial intern for the spring quarter (the internship
typically runs from April through June). Interns at Paradigm Communications have the opportunity to write several short articles, which are published with the intern’s byline, in inflight
magazines that are viewed by a million travelers each 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 nonstudents.  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. 

Please mail or e-mail your materials to:

The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) - the voice of Jewish Democrats - is looking for college students to intern in our Washington, DC office this summer. We have two types of internships available this summer -  Communications and Political Fundraising/Development. Both of the internships can be either full or part time and NJDC staff will sign off to         ensure that students receive credit with their universities.                                     
 
NJDC offers a fast-paced office environment and the chance to work and learn at the intersection of the American Jewish community and the Democratic Party. Students who complete our internships will gain experience in political advocacy, nonprofit operations, and working at a campaign-style tempo.                                       

One of the luxuries of our internships is that interns do not spend the bulk of their time making copies, answering the phones, and running errands. Instead, our interns play an active role in our daily operations and are a major asset to our staff.                                
  
Students who intern in our Communications Department will be responsible for drafting and editing press releases, performing research, and will have the opportunity to produce original blog content under their own names, in addition to other responsibilities.
 
Students who intern in our Development Department will assist our Development team with event planning, donor research, and preparing fundraising materials.                                  
 
In-depth descriptions of the internships are hyperlinked in the text above.  Please distribute them widely and encourage students looking to get their feet wet in Democratic and Jewish politics to apply.

Below is a list of duties that we are looking for in an intern. Some of the items listed are obviously in an "as needed" basis, but we do have work that can be done 24/7 if a student is willing to do the work. How long internships last is really up to you (we will ALWAYS have things to do) but we are looking for a minimum of seven hours a week in help needed, and the maximum is really up to the student. With us, a student can   expect to gain experience in work with Wordpress (our website application), Open X (our banner ad application), SMF (our messageboard application), HTML and coding. Knowledge of story editing, writing, and creative thinking will be learned and a student will be introduced to the world of PR/Marketing and Advertising with us as well.
  
If a student feels like only certain aspects of this job would be   appealing or a best suit for them, then we will work with the student to make this partnership happen. Where the student lives is not important, however daily access to an email account is required.

Blogging and hyperlocal journalism are rewriting the face of media. Here's an opportunity to join the revolution first-hand. 
  
Wallyhood (www.wallyhood.org) is the Wallingford neighborhood blog, a news source tightly focused on the coveted neighborhood just to the west of the University of Washington. In its two years, it has emerged as a leading and innovative voice in the hyperlocal blog movement, helping to define a new form of subjective, relationship-based ethical journalism. Almost since its
inception, it has consistently ranked as a top-news source for Seattle (see Top 100 Media Sites 2010) and has earned a devoted following among its loyal readers.
  
Wallyhood is seeking a news intern to help cover the stories that are defining our neighborhood and our lives. You'll have the freedom to choose and pursue your stories, working with experienced bloggers to refine and define your voice, and learn some "tricks of the trade" along the way (e.g., SEO, creative commons licensing, social media promotion, usage analytics).
  
The successful candidate will produce an article per week for publication (or more, if you choose), and will emerge with better understanding of blogging, hyperlocal journalism and the relationship between social media and the news. 
  
We're asking for students who have had some experience in journalism, and blogging experience is also a plus.  Knowledge of Word Press is useful, though not required.  This is an unpaid position, but we do offer profit sharing for writers who bring new sponsors on board.  The internship would start immediately and run through the end of spring semester.

If this is something you're interested in, send a cover letter that includes any relevant experience to Margaret Steck at margaret@wallyhood.org.

We organize all of this information so fans can easily search for, track, and share it.

Sports writing internship opportunity (all semesters)

CoachesAid.com, a website devoted to high school sports, is looking for a writing intern who will specialize on a specific sport in the state of Washington.

This intern will have his or her own blog that will serve as the place to go in Washington State to find out about the most relevant information about that high school sport.

This blog is a blank canvas of possibilities but will at the very least serve as a preview of upcoming events and will follow up with a review of those events. There also will be opportunities for specific event coverage and features stories, audio and video interviews.

This blog can be what the writer makes of it in terms of creativity. It will receive significant play on the website on the specific day that it is updated.

The writer has the unique opportunity to be the go-to person for a statewide audience on a specific sport. Although there will be original content, part of the review aspect will be pointing readers to coverage from other media outlets with links to their stories.

Some of this content also may appear on the UDubSports.com website if it involves a University of Washington recruit.

CoachesAid.com is currently seeking interns who are interested in writing about the following sports: wrestling, boys basketball, girls basketball, swimming (boys and girls), football (offseason news and recruiting), volleyball, soccer (boys and girls), baseball, fastpitch, cross country and track and field. Even if the sport is out of season, there is always news, including club sports, coaching moves, training, recruiting, etc.

If an intern wants to write about a sport that is out of season and also wants to do other general writing assignments such as feature stories or game coverage, the internship can be adjusted to accommodate those interests.

This is an unpaid internship and is flexible in terms of credit hours, depending on each applicant’s situation and needs. Writing two comprehensive blogs per week would require at least 10 to 12 hours per week considering research, interviews and writing time.

The intern will receive regular feedback on his or work and guidance from a superviser who has followed the high school sports scene in Washington for 20 years. Any writing submissions will be edited before published with feedback provided as well.

This internship is designed for a student who is knowledgeable and/or passionate about a particular sport and wants to write about it and gain reporting experience. The writer will have the opportunity to attend games and gain interviewing skills and provide unique content for some underserved sports. 

CoachesAid.com also offers other internships, including a sports feature writing internship for those who want to work on their creative writing and interview skills. That internship encompasses all sports and is open at all times of the year. 

Please contract CoachesAid.com Washington publisher Ron Newberry for more information regarding any of these internship opportunities.

Interns at Rick Steves work part-time up to 15 hours per week on everything from data-heavy work (fact-checking, organizing feedback, formatting files) to proofreading text and maps for our guidebooks and websites. Depending on the intern’s expertise, some writing tasks may also be assigned. While this is an unpaid internship, it is designed as a learning experience, and we expect interns to earn college credit for their work.

We are seeking Department of Communication majors who have had at least one writing or editing course. Experience writing and editing in print or for online publications is preferred. Candidates must be proficient in Microsoft Word. The internship will start with the beginning of 2011 Winter Quarter.

Our offices are in downtown Edmonds, which has convenient bus connections to the UW and train connections to downtown. 

If interested, send a résumé and writing samples (published samples preferred, but not required) to Tom Griffin, Guidebook Editor, Rick Steves’ Europe Through the Back Door, PO Box 2009, Edmonds, WA 98020 or via e-mail to tomg@ricksteves.com.

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 winter quarter (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 nonstudents.

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. Please mail or e-mail your materials to:

DESCRIPTION:
As an Intern for KOMO Newsradio, you’ll spend time working alongside Editors, Reporters, and Sportscasters.

I have a hyper-local blog for the cities of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park. I'm a Seattle Times News Partner and have plans to join an ad consortium with the Times and KING 5.
 
The ShorelineAreaNews is something I do in addition to my day job and other volunteer activities.  I am what is politely called a "citizen journalist".  I have partners - a photographer, a creative person, and a professional journalist named Evan Smith.  Evan does politics and I do news and community events. 
 
I am not able to get to all the places I should be, cover the stories well, or even find time to write up the feature stories I have.  We have tried contacting the high schools and Shoreline Community College and have not made successful connections.
 
We are trying to cover everything, so I'm pretty open to someone who has a particular interest (except politics).  I would like to have someone who has a connection to my cities - a graduate of Shorecrest or Shorewood or someone whose family lives here.
 
I am affiliated with three other hyper-local blogs who are also Seattle Times NewsPartners and I think they would be interested as well - Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, and Lynnwood.

Work permits for Americans are difficult to obtain and Reuters will not provide assistance on this.
 
Do not apply if you have questionable fluency in French.  You must be fluent.

We hosted our largest ever class of 19 students in the Americas during the summer of 2010, and seven are still with us. Considering that nearly half the class returned to school to complete studies, this is our best-ever retention rate. Of those seven, one was hired in a permanent reporter slot and six others in temporary positions we hope will soon lead to full-time
jobs. The job roles they are filling are primarily in business journalism including one working on our energy reporting team in New York, two on our company news reporting team in New York, one as a news associate in Washington, one assisting a news editing team in New York, and one reporting on financial markets in Mexico City.
  
The seventh student is associated with a change in the program that is very exciting. This summer for the first time, we selected one of the interns to join a nine-month Financial Journalism Program run by our London office to provide further intensive training, with the opportunity for a full-time correspondent position at the end of the period. Alina Selyukh of the 
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, who interned in Washington this summer, was selected for the program. She just returned from a month of training in London and has begun a rotation through our financial reporting desks in New York. The rotation will include a stint with Insider, our new web-based financial video service. We plan to repeat this opportunity in 2011 and hope the possibility of joining this program will be an additional incentive for
your students to apply for internships.

A program of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, the Kaiser Media Internships Program is an intensive twelve-week summer internship for young journalists interested in specializing in health reporting, with a particular commitment to coverage of health issues affecting diverse and immigrant communities.

The program provides an initial week-long briefing on health issues and health reporting in Washington, D.C. Interns are then based for ten weeks at their newspaper, online, or radio/TV station, typically under the direction of the Health or Metro Editor/News Director, where they report on health issues. The program ends with a three-day meeting in Boston to hear critiques from senior journalists and to go on final site visits. The aim is to provide young journalists or journalism college graduates with an in-depth introduction to and practical experience on the specialist health beat, with a particular focus on diverse and immigrant communities

Travel to and from Washington, D.C., the internship city, Boston, and all training and accommodation expenses in D.C. and Boston are paid by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Interns are responsible for housing and other expenses during the ten weeks spent working at their news organizations. The Kaiser Foundation provides a stipend (minimum $550 gross per week), matching the news organization's own weekly rate, if higher.

This is a program for new journalists who can demonstrate a commitment and ability to report on health issues affecting diverse and immigrant communities. Strong writing skills and previous newsroom reporting experience are essential. In addition, priority will be given to journalists who are bilingual and/or bicultural; and to journalists who have studied or reported on health issues affecting diverse or immigrant communities. This could include previous reporting experience and/or academic expertise in health, medical, or science-related issues, or urban affairs. Typically, interns selected are graduating from college and/or journalism school with quite considerable experience, including previous internships at a newspaper, TV, or radio station, or at a news organization's Web site. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

The 2011 program application deadline is December 1, 2010, for print and online applicants, and January 6, 2011, for broadcast applicants.

Franklin Fellows

Right now in every university around the country, journalism students are sitting in classes listening to lectures on how to investigate and report a story.  These same students might be the next Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. But to get the knowledge and experience they need to thrive in their chosen field, these students need the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of journalism from working reporters. 

Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity, a leading national non-profit journalism organization, is proud to announce their Franklin Fellows program. This program pairs journalism students with working reporters at Capitol News Bureaus throughout the United States to produce quality journalism on local and state issues. By working with seasoned journalists, these students have the chance to get real world experience by learning first-hand how to conduct interviews, research and write quality stories.  

By joining the Franklin Fellows Program, journalism students will not only be learning how to be a journalist but they will also be playing an important role in combating the growing decline of media presence at state capitols. An American Journalism Review study found that only 355 full-time newspaper reporters still are based state capitols; 44 statehouses have fewer full-time reporters than they did six years ago. These students will be making a difference by covering the important stories that the traditional media is no longer able to.

In addition to gaining vital experience, Franklin Fellow receive a monthly stipend. If you are interested in learning more about Franklin Fellows or are interested in getting involved in Franklin Center please contact Scott.Reeder@FranklinCenterHQ.org. For more information on Franklin Center’s work please visit www.FranklinCenterHQ.org.

Fellow Testimonials

“The Benjamin Franklin Fellows Program is a great opportunity for new reporters to gain an unbelievable amount of experience in a short time. During the six-month fellowship I interviewed state lawmakers, wrote daily stories, filmed and edited video for newscasts and had a front row seat to Illinois' contentious 2010 legislative session. I am leaving the fellowship with valuable skills that would have taken years for me to learn at any other journalism job. And I got paid for it!”

Jennifer Wessner 
Wheaton College
Interned for Illinois Statehouse News

"My internship was a great way to learn about journalism through a hands-on experience. I was given responsibility coupled with instruction from people who were both knowledgeable and passionate about their jobs. My editors took time to coach me and improve my skills as a journalist. Whether it was writing stories, interviewing sources, or researching background, I was immersed in the world of journalism."

						Stephen Groves
						Taylor University
						Interned for Virginia Statehouse News



“Interning at the Franklin Center was challenging and fun! For three months, I garnered unparalleled work experience by interviewing, writing, and working on my own stories. I also attended press conferences in the nation’s capital, personally interviewed governors and congressmen, and networked with several people in the news industry. The individual attention I received at the Franklin Center helped me not only improve my news writing, but allowed me to develop great relationships with all the people on staff. “

						Ann Kaiser
						Lawrence University
						Interned for Virginia Statehouse News


“Working in the Franklin Fellowship program has been a valuable, eye-opening experience for me. It gave me the kind of hands-on experience that I need to make it as a political journalist.”

						Phillip Moyer
						Point Loma Nazarene University
						Interned for Nevada News Bureau



“My experience as a Franklin Fellow was a very positive one. I was able to gain a lot of experience reporting on statehouse news. What I reported on every day were very important issues in Illinois and I learned more about them than I would have reporting it from a different location other than the state capital. I was able to work alongside many good reporters and could feed off their energy and follow their example. As a fellow, I think I accomplished more in a day than I thought possible. Yes, it is a lot of hard work and sometimes the hours are very long, but in the end, you gain way more than several hundred clips."

Re: internship positions that are available at Alaska Airlines and
Horizon Air magazines.
 
We are looking for detail-oriented interns with a passion for writing,
researching and fact-checking. Interns will get a few great clips in the
magazines, and a whole lot of experience working alongside magazine editors and designers in the Belltown neighborhood of downtown Seattle.


 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.

Dear Communication/Journalism/English Department Directors and Assistant Directors,
 
     My name is Charlie Dudley and I'm the owner/operator for
Cover2Sports.net. The reason I'm emailing you is because I'm looking for quality journalism students to blog for their individual teams for our website. I've sent out emails in the past and we have room for more bloggers. If you have a communication/journalism listserv, I would really
appreciate you forwarding the below message on to your students.
 
     Do you want to write for a sports website run by someone close to your age (26) that doesn't operate with the same bias as ESPN and other sites with an edge not explored in the mainstream sports media? Are you looking to expand your portfolio with columns, blogs or articles published online? If
you answered yes to either of the questions above, Cover2Sports.net might be
the place for you.

     My name is Charlie Dudley and I'm a graduate of Auburn University and a current graduate student in Sports Administration at Canisius College. I'm also the owner/operator of Cover2Sports.net. On our site we take a look at the most important games throughout the country and games that might
interest other audiences. Last season we had many bloggers from the SEC and ACC, and are hoping to expand to include every team we can. What we are looking for is someone who can blog about their school's game, roughly 2 blogs per week, providing insight the mainstream media overlooks.
     
We at Cover 2 look at the game of football and how teams play offense, defense and special teams. We talk about schemes and under the radar playmakers. We have been online for almost a year and we averaged anywhere from 500-1000 hits on the site on update days in 2009, Thursday-Friday-Monday. If you are looking for online experience and exposure, Cover 2 might be the place for you. Cover 2 offers writing and audio for the avid college football fan and we would love to add some quality journalistic minds from around the country. 

     For the time being, the blogger positions do not offer money, but could in the future. Since we are in our infancy at Cover 2, we are just trying to get everything off the ground and boost page views, therefore being able to charge more for advertising and possibly a membership fee, which could result in our bloggers getting paid. Get in on the ground floor of what is sure to be a successful site.    Before you email me and let me know you're interested, check out the site and see what we're all about. We don't pull punches, and we're in your face. If you check out the site and are still interested, email me ASAP at cover2sports@gmail.com. Act quickly because the first good writer from each school will get the position. However, if someone already is blogging for your school and you are a good writer, we still can find a place for you if you are still interested. We had several bloggers on the site last seasonwho didn't go to the university they blogged for, so act fast if you want to blog for your school.
 
If you are interested please email me, Charlie Dudley, at
cover2sports@gmail.com.

Position - Journalism Intern for football and basketball season, Dawgman.com
and Sports Washington magazine
 
Person would shadow and assist the daily beat for a Pac-10 football team. 
They'll cover coaches and players pre-game, during the game and post-game. 
They will not only get practical experience on the journalism side of
things, but they will also get a birds-eye view of how an internet business
is run.  Looking for a self-starter that is comfortable jumping into a
professional environment.  HTML and Photoshop skills not required, but very
helpful in producing content, both via stories and photo galleries.  Great
opportunity for someone to get involved in working with members of
Dawgman.com, the biggest independent website that has been covering
Washington football and men's basketball for well over a decade.  We may
also ask for articles for our magazine, Sports Washington, depending on
workload and time constraints.
 
This person would need to be available roughly 10 hours a week during
football season and less during basketball season.  It would be a couple of
hours on Monday and a hour a day for the rest of the week minus Friday and
then 2-3 hours post-game on game day for football.  For basketball, it would
probably mean an hour or so during the coach's press conference on Tuesday
and some work post-game on Thursdays and Saturdays.  It is a non-paying
internship, but in the past our interns have been able to earn college
credit at UW and other colleges for their work with us.

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 an editorial intern for the summer quarter (the internship
typically runs from July through September). Interns at Paradigm Communications have the
opportunity to write several short articles, which are published with the intern’s byline, in inflight
magazines that are viewed by a million travelers each 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

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.

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.

The American Alpine Institute is a mountain climbing school and guide

and taking them to remote parts of the world since 1975.  We currently
operate programs in five states and in sixteen countries.
 
The American Alpine Institute is looking for an intern to do a
"writing-oriented" project.  This project will involve interviewing our
guides and writing detailed bios (500-800 words) on them for our website.
 The length of the project could easily be dictated by the intern as this
will likely be an ongoing project.  We are willing to work with a given
intern to make sure that he or she gets the hours needed to fulfill school
obligations.  It would be acceptable for an intern to do the bulk of this
project remotely.
 
We are willing to compensate a potential intern with instruction from our
world class guides.  We have trips (local, national and international) that
are as short as three days and are as long as 22 days that have a variety of
monetary values.  If an intern is willing to put in a lot of hours, we would
be more than happy to offer them a position on a longer trip.

Palestra.net is a college news website looking for a student to be their next 
UW campus reporter. We have reporters at many of the major colleges around the country who cover a wide variety of topics. Duties include filming and editing two 1-3 min news stories every week on any topic the student chooses. This can be from campus events, to interviewing bands, to covering politics- it's all up to the student on what they think is interesting. In the fall, the main focus will be on covering football, which includes filming on the sidelines, attending press conferences, and interviewing players and coaches. In the winter, basketball content is preferred. We are partnered with ESPNU so any 
sports content you produce has the opportunity to be on their website as well. 
However, no previous knowledge of sports is needed in order to cover it, so 
even if you aren?t a sports fan this internship will still be valuable to you.
 
Student can be freshman through junior standing, major in Communication or 
Journalism preferred though any major is ok. Knowledge and experience in using video cameras and any editing software is a plus but by no means a requirement, as those skills are easy to learn. Student doesn?t have to own any equipment or editing software either.
 
This internship will be a great experience for the student to get out there and 
get hands-on experience covering interesting topics, have valuable 
opportunities to meet and interview prominent people, and film sports and press conferences right alongside the other major TV stations. The student will be paid for each story they produce.
 
If interested in this position, please contact Lauren Maschmedt at 
253-797-0892, or email at laurenfm@uw.edu. If emailing, please send resume if you have one. No cover letter needed.

GeoGenius (GeoGenius.com)  is one of several companies under Meridian Group of Companies (MerdianGroup.net). GeoGenius provides video content for luxury motorcoach tours on the West Coast on behalf of its parent company in the Meridian Group, MTR Western-the fastest growing company in the bus business as chosen by Inc Magazine. GeoGenius is an exclusive product designed to enhance motorcoach tours by showing passengers things they can't see from the bus and by telling emotional stories with archival photos and footage that would be impossible for the driver or tour guide to impart. There is quite a buzz about the product's potential.
 
For those students who may think, "bus tours!," I'd like to underscore that this a product is not only produced to broadcast quality standards, it is constantly undergoing iterations and thus subject to creative input from all sources. It is also an opportunity to liaison with an art department, 2d and 3d graphic artists, an anime artist, and a staff who have been at their craft for years.
 
Also note that our group does video and marketing projects for its Meridian group of companies which include web videos, corporate promotional pieces, fundraiser videos, and video marketing materials. This is a chance to jump in to learn and apply skills the student is now acquiring, while in a working environment, a chance to make lasting industry contacts, and also to contribute their unique skills.
 
Production
 
 
  *   Research/Writing to Picture/Acquisition Internship: We've all done research on the web, right? Well this internship shows you a whole new set of research skills when gathering storytelling, historically accurate information and provable facts. You'll also have a chance to work with the writers and  assist with putting picture (footage, stills, graphics, text) to the written word on video scripts. Another opportunity not always available in this kind of setting is learning about image acquisition and licensing, a nice resume booster.
 
 
 
  *   Associate Producing Internship: Since our team is small, this is a chance to see producing up close and personal.  You'll work with the executive producer allowing you a chance to experience many facets of producing. From the black-and-white of schedule, budget and admin to the "color" of the creative and collaborative process: idea inception to finished product. Also a possibility of helping with video shoots on location. Exec Prod has written, produced and directed dozens of national television shows for ABC, NBC, History Channel, A&E et al.
 
Post-Production
 
 
  *   Assistant Editor Internship: Get the chance to learn additional post skills with this internship as you help process footage, learn about image acquisition and licensing, clearance and content management, and assistant editor duties.  Also a possibility of helping with video shoots on location. Our editor works with graphic artists and art department as well as generates simple animation and text graphics, so great opportunities to learn many facets of post production process in one setting.

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 spring and summer quarters (spring
internships typically run from April through June; summer internships typically run from July
through September). 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.

The Snohomish County Vikings, a minor league football team (semi pro
football), is a member of the Northwest Football League (which has been
around for 40 years) and a Washington State and federally registered non
profit group helping to bring aid to those in need in the greater Snohomish
County area. We hope to enrich the lives of young men that have not gone
onto college to help develop and maintain their skills in order to possibly
attend college with a scholarship. Even if they do not get a scholarship, we
are encouraging them to continue their education. We teach teamwork, and how
to support your local community, among other things. For those who have
attended college, it is our hope that some may be blessed to go onto a
higher level of football. Or possibly they can just enrich the lives of
their teammates with the knowledge they bring from the sport they all love.
Our talents on the gridiron are provided voluntarily so that others may
benefit from our success.
 
 
 
Our organization sees no gender, age, religious, ethnic or social economic
barriers except that you have to be at least 18 years old to participate.
(Yes, we had a girl on our team an offensive line gal!) We primarily serve
all of Snohomish County, north King County as well as South Skagit County,
but there is no geographical barrier either. We have had men come from as
far away as Vancouver BC to be part of our team. Our community work is
primarily within our own community, Snohomish County, although with our work
with the Toys for Tots charity game we know we are benefiting children on
the Western side of the Cascade Mountains. We have over numerous years
contributed to VOA with fundraising and donated the money we have received
towards to food banks of Snohomish County. Last count was over $70,000.00.
We also have food drives every year. We have attended local hospitals to
spread cheer to sick or injured children, we have raised funds for hurricane
and other relief along with money for drug abuse awareness. With each person
we help, whether it is directly a teammate or a community member, we know
that "pay it forward" is a great possibility. When our members work with
youth in the peewee sector, we are working with hundreds of children. A lot
of coaches that are coaching peewee football in Snohomish County have some
sort of present or past association with the Snohomish County Vikings. It is
unimaginable how many lives we have affected in the 16 years of our
existence.
 
 
 
In addition we encourage the youth to attend college, this is another reason
why we retain stats and film. Just this past year, we have had several of
our players return to college. Last year, we had one of our former players
graduate from WSU and was waiting to be drafted into the NFL. It is our
dream to be able to start a college scholarship program for kids who want to
further their education and qualify for a scholarship.
 
 
 
Another thing we have done is teaching men the positive ways they can
improve their life and others lives by giving back to their community. We
have done this by encouraging higher education, teaching the positive ways
of life and focusing on mentoring others to see that life cycles change.
 
 
 
Head Coach, Wes Fischer, owns the Snohomish County Vikings. Fischer was a
Snohomish High School graduate of 1964. In 1965, he himself played semi pro
football, then became a player/owner and eventually a coach. He is well
known in the Wrestling community as a High School wrestling coach who
retired last year from Sultan High School. He started wrestling in 1959, and
then when he graduated in 1964 became a wrestling referee and then started
coaching. When he retired from wrestling, he had dedicated 49 years to the
sport.
 
 
 
Why does Wes do this? It is simple, his high school football coach, Dick
Armstrong, made a difference in his life. He insists that it is because he
wants to make a difference in one person's life. Wes Fischer is a very
humble man, who is loved by most everyone he meets. In 1998 and 1999 Wes
Fischer was honored as coach of the year in the NWFL. In 2002 KCPQ Channel
13 honored him as an unsung hero for this commitment to the youth of the
community. In addition in April of 2003, The Herald awarded him the Larry
Hanson Community MVP of Snohomish County for this continued contribution to
athletics and to the community. Following soon afterwards, he was elected
into the Semi pro Hall of Fame along side some notable people such as Former
NFL greats, Vince Lombardi and Bill Walsh.
 
 
 
Ask a retired or veteran player on the Snohomish County Vikings if they know
Wes Fischer. The common response would be " Wes? I love the man; he is like
a second father to me. I also know he loves me in return. We are all
family."
 
 
 
The Vikings are not newcomers to tragedy. This past season was very
traumatic, as The Snohomish County Vikings lost one of their players,
31-year-old Jeff Berry a Snohomish High School graduate died from heart
attack in November of 2008. On October 28, 2008 at the end of the Toys For
Tots Charity game, which turned out to be Jeff?s last game, Wes spoke to his
players in the family huddle; "look around at each other, as one of you may
not be back, remember the faces of your brothers. Love the relationships you
have made. This is important.? He didn't realize how prolific his words were
to be.
 
 
 
By the way, we have been in existence since 1993 and it is our greatest wish
that more people did know about us!

JTNews, the Jewish community newspaper for Washington State, and its partner
site jew-ish.com seek a budding web developer intern to help in rebuilding
our news and events sites. We currently use a PHP-based content management
system that would need some tweaks with the integration of our design into
HTML. The appropriate intern would have some knowledge of XHTML/CSS (or
strong desire to bone up on skills) and knowledge of CMSs and tags, with
some programming involved, to make the project complete. 

For further information, contact editor Joel Magalnick at editor@jtnews.net.

INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES – 2010 – (through May 2010)

Journalism Interns (we currently have 25 positions available through May 2010) to mentor KidReporters. Interns will be assigned ten (10) KidReporters – 4th and 5th graders who have an interest in Journalism and who have been selected by their school to represent the school as a KidReporter. Interns will communicate via e-mail with KidReporters to assign stories, follow up on assignments, review and edit story submissions and participate in other KidReporter-related activities. It is important to engage the KidReporters and encourage them to develop their research and writing skills.

Marketing Interns (we have 4 positions available- 2 Interns to work together as a team) to develop the Kidz Connexion programs –
•	 “Write A Story” concept is ideal for larger partners looking to expand on the Internet and reach a larger audience of children ages 5 to 12. The concept includes The Kidz Connexion providing partners with colorful Point of Promotion materials that encourage kids to write a story about the fun they had while visiting the venue.
POP materials are place at ticket windows and entrances and/or visible kid-friendly locations throughout the venue. Once a story is written and submitted to the Kidz Connexion, it is reviewed and edited by our qualified staff for readability, relevance and publicity. The story is then posted to the Kidz Connexion site and optimized for Internet search using brand-relevant keywords. A press release is then sent to local and online media. 
•	Kidz Connexion Birthday Klub concept is for partners who currently have a Birthday Club and would like to enhance their current offering as well as for those who would like to build one from scratch. With more than one million users targeted for 2010, the Kidz Connexion has the potential to drive significant family traffic to regional and
national brands through targeted email leads.
Marketing Interns (we currently have 5 positions available) to further develop and enhance the program to engage partners who will feature the first level of a new Kidz Connexion game on their site. The partners will receive significant benefits for their participation and the Kidz Connexion will benefit in increased traffic and membership in the Kidz Connexion.
Public Relations Interns (2 positions available) to create and implement a program for submitting KidReporter stories to online news resources and search engines. Additional duties will include developing relationships for the Kidz Connexion with local print, radio and television media outlets – in cities where the Kidz Connexion has KidReporters.

Public Relations Interns (25 positions available at this time) to function as liaison with elementary schools for the Kidz Connexion. Initially the Intern will present the Kidz Connexion to elementary school principals via e-mail for the purpose of recruiting KidReporters. Once a KidReporter has been selected for an elementary school, the Intern will ensure that the KidReporter is assigned to an Intern/Mentor. Subsequently, the Intern will work with the school to help them understand the KidReporter program and the benefits of thekidzconnexion.com for students at their school. Intern will introduce help to create membership contests for the schools, award prizes and other school-related activities. Lists of elementary schools principals and e-mail content will be provided.
