Abstract:
The project I prepared is designed to help journalism students who want to do an internship. The guide contains six sections that I thought would be particularly useful for prospective interns. The sections give helpful tips and advice to students planning to enroll in JOURN 369/569.The first section stresses the importance and benefits of an internship. Section two is designed to help students search for an internship. The section contains a guide to Career Services' library and a list of available resources which can help the search. The third section displays sample resumes to assist students in preparing a resume. Section four gives advice in portfolio preparation. The fifth section provides tips for living in a big city and getting the most out of a journalism internship. The final section involves internship paperwork. The section gives examples of papers required to gain credit for an internship.
