Description:
Paid internship in state government
MarylandReporter.com, an online news website covering state government and politics, is offering several paid 13-week internships in 2012 with an emphasis on investigative reporting.
One of the internships will run from February through May and will involve covering the 90-day session of the Maryland General Assembly. The other two internships in Maryland will be offered in June and September.
The internships are open to rising seniors, master’s candidates or graduates and students or graduates who have had experience on student newspapers or other publications. The internship is also open to non-traditional students and career-changers from other fields who wish to pursue a career in journalism and who have the necessary writing and reporting skills.
The internship is designed to enhance your skills as a journalist covering state government and politics with a special emphasis on ethics and investigative reporting skills. We will task you with a wide range of assignments, hopefully geared to your interests and strengths, but also designed to stretch your capabilities. The internships are supported by a grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation.
This is temporary full-time employment paying $400 week with no benefits. You will work out of your home, the State House in Annapolis and/or the offices of MarylandReporter.com in Columbia, Maryland. You will need a car and smart phone, and you will be reimbursed for mileage and phone use.
To apply for this internship, send a letter spelling out your qualifications and availability to Len@MarylandReporter.com, along with a resume and 5-10 clips of your work (URL links are fine.) In the subject line, specify February, June or September internship. The deadline for the February internship is Monday, Nov. 21; for June internship, Friday, March 2; and for September, Friday, June 15.
