Students: Here are two paid opportunities from SPJ worth checking out. -- PGN

**********************

INTERN WITH SPJ

Like journalism? Media law? Freedom of information? Yes, yes, yes!

SPJ is accepting applications for its annual (paid!) Pulliam/Kilgore
Freedom of Information Internship program. Two students or recent
graduates will work on FOI-related topics, one at SPJ headquarters in
Indianapolis, the other with SPJ's legal counsel in Washington, D.C.

The application deadline is Jan. 24, 2013.

Interns should be familiar with journalism industry issues and have an
interest in writing about and researching freedom of
information-related topics. The Indianapolis intern will be a current
(or recently graduated) undergraduate or graduate student. The D.C.
intern has most often been a current law student with a background or
undergraduate education in journalism. Get more information and
application instructions here.
