Calling All College Students

The Cleveland Jewish News is seeking summer interns for 2009. They are accepting students who have completed at least their first year of college by June of this year. This internship offers students an opportunity to write feature stories and community news while getting paid for their efforts. Since many internships in journalism tend to have early deadlines to apply (October/November), the February 27^th deadline is also an attractive feature and makes it still possible for those students who are living in Ohio or willing to temporarily relocate to still be able to apply for a summer internship in journalism.

The first step in applying for this position involves writing a cover letter describing your qualifications and why you feel you’d make a good intern. Also, CJN is interested in seeing any stories you have previously published. This is an excellent opportunity for underclassmen to develop their writing talents and gain valuable experience in the field.

Since many internships and jobs in the field of journalism require strong writing skills and previous experience, the ability for students who are currently in their first and sophomore years of college to participate in such an opportunity can really jump start their future career.
