INTERNSHIP PICK OF THE WEEK
The Society of Professional Journalists

The Hawaii chapter of The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) has print and broadcast journalism internships available for the summer. Hawaii residents who have completed their sophomore year and are attending college in Hawaii or anyone who has completed high school in Hawaii and is attending college in Hawaii or elsewhere, are given first preference for all positions.

Benefits:

Interns working at various newspapers are paid a minimum of $3,250 for 10 week sessions, 40 hours per week. Broadcast interns work 8 week sessions, 27 hours per week, and receive $1,750. This is an opportunity to get some valuable hands on experience in journalism.

Students and new graduates interested in the field of journalism will find that employers look for candidates who have experience working in the field.
