Journalism majors:
This message was sent to me from Miami alum Fred Huffman, who works at the
Times-Union. He sits on the paper's internship committee and would like to
"see a flood of Miami applications." Do your best to accommodate him.
Good luck,

2000 Summer Internship Program for Copy Editing, Photography and Writing

The Florida Times-Union accepts internships for summer employment each
year. Applications for interships must be received by December 1 of the year
preceeding the summer of employment. Interns will be selected and notified
by the end of January.

The intern program extends through the summer months, and exact dates of
employment will be negotiated. Interns can expect to be in the program for
about 12 weeks. The salary scale is as follows:

Completion of first year of college - $320 weekly.

Completion of second year of college - $340 weekly.

Completion of third year of college - $360 weekly.

Interns will work as regular staffers. Weekly meetings will be held with
various editors to discuss problems and progress. Every effort will be made
to match summer work assignments with the interest of the interns selected
to work on the staff of the Times-Union.

Preference will be given to:

Individuals who have completed the junior or sophomore years in college.

Individuals who have held summer internships with daily newspapers in the
past.

Individuals interested in a career in print journalism.

Applications must be made in writing and should include grade point
average, previous journalism experience and at least two references, one
from within the academic community. Clips of past work should be included if
available.

It is not necessary for applicants to be majoring in journalism, but that is
desirable.

Send applications to: Jody Kestler, Newsroom Resources Coordinator, (One
Riverside Ave., 32202) P.O. Box 1949, Jacksonville, FL 32231. Phone: (904)
359-4573.

All interns will be evaluated, with evaluations sent to the appropriate
academic contact at the student's school.
