The paper is currently seeking interns for the winter/spring 2010 session, which will begin in January. The internships are full-time in our Washington, D.C., office and will last till late May. In addition to a $500 weekly stipend, academic credit can often be arranged.
Three interns will be hired; we are looking for both undergraduates and recent graduates.
All of the interns will have the same primary responsibilities: 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.
Requirements: Experience writing for publication, either at a student newspaper or a professional publication, is required. Candidates with previous internships and deadline-reporting experience are preferred. Applications must be received by 4 p.m. on Friday, October 9, 2009. Applications that are late, e-mailed, or faxed will not be considered.
Applicants should send a cover letter; résumé with telephone, e-mail, and postal contact information; and a maximum of five varied and impressive clips to:
