Internship

Journalism 394I is a three-credit practicum experience that includes intensive reporting, writing, workplace collaboration and reflection on ethics, the role of public writing and the liberal arts education in the real-world experiences of the journalist. In addition to the traditional internship experience at a qualified employer, students will participate in a blog published on the Journalism Program website in which they will reflect on their liberal arts education and its relevance in their journalistic activities on the internship.
