The Journal & Courier, in Lafayette, Indiana, part of The USA Today Network, seeks a summer intern looking to grow their clip portfolio and gain valuable experience working in an innovative, digital-focused and supportive environment. In your nine weeks, you will get the opportunity to complete at least one enterprise or group project and plenty of daily stories while learning from senior reporters. You’ll get mentoring and one-on-one coaching from the editor, but applicants are expected to generate story ideas, work independently, and bring a level of curiosity that goes well beyond a press release. This is a 35-hour-per-week position. As a general assignment and trending news reporter, you might fill in on the police beat, cover a contentious meeting, write a profile of a community innovator, and report on community or search-related trends. Students will receive $525 a week for 35 hours a week through the Hoosier State Press Association. Here’s what we’re looking for: • Degree-seeking student currently enrolled at a college or university in Indiana. Students must have completed at least one year of college-level courses and demonstrate an interest in pursuing journalism as a career. • Strong writing, spelling and grammar skills demonstrated by your cover letter and clips. A desire to ask questions, get answers and present information that is organized and easy to understand. The ability to think critically, analyze information and data, and work in a deadline-driven environment. • An interest in SEO and trying new ways to tell stories and reach audiences. Candidates should be comfortable taking digital video and photos. • A valid driver’s license, reliable transportation and the minimum liability insurance are required. • Employment is contingent on passing a pre-employment background check and drug screen. We are eager to learn more about you and how you fit this role. When you apply, don’t limit your upload to a resume; show us what you’ve done. To do so, put together a single document file that includes the following, in this order: 1. Your resume – one to two pages. 2. A cover letter that outlines how you would approach the job. 3. Links to 3-6 online samples of your work. Show us what you’ve produced or had a hand in that best reflects what you can do in your desired role. It is important that these items be assembled into a single document and uploaded in PDF format. Completing these steps will ensure that your application receives the highest consideration.
