The Chronicle of Higher Education seeks interns for the summer 2008 session,
which will begin in June. The Chronicle is an Equal Opportunity Employer
committed to maintaining a diverse work force.

The internships are full-time in our Washington, D.C., office and will last
through August 2008. In addition to a stipend, academic credit can often be
arranged.

The interns' primary responsibilities are reporting and writing daily news
articles for The Chronicle's Web site (which usually appear subsequently in
print), contributing brief features to the "Short Subjects" section, writing
news articles for other sections of the newspaper, and doing research for
special projects. There is very little grunt work. Interns who prove
themselves as reporters and writers are often asked to write full-length
features.

The Chronicle places a premium on reporting that is accurate and writing
that shines. All writing, including that done by staff reporters, is
carefully edited. Interns typically leave with a set of strong, varied
clips.

Requirements: Candidates must have experience writing for publication,
whether at a student newspaper or a professional publication. Experience in
writing news articles on tight deadlines is especially appreciated.
Applications must be received by February 29, 2008.

Applicants should send a cover letter, résumé, and a maximum of five
impressive clips to:
