Boston Globe Summer Internship

This is a message to our student members from Paula Bouknight about the Boston Globe’s summer internship program:

The Globe started its program more than 50 years ago. Through the years, it has continued to be a challenging and rewarding program for those invited to participate. The 12-week program gives young journalists a chance to work for a major metropolitan paper, covering a variety of stories in our Metro, Business, Living/Arts, Health/Science and Sports sections, as well as shooting photos and video, designing section fronts and creating graphics for print and online, and copy editing. While we provide guidance, direction, and editing to the interns, as well as offer another layer of feedback with a writing coach dedicated to the interns, we expect them to work nearly at the level of a beginning reporter. This means our interns produce great work and finely polish their journalism skills every day.

In 2005, The Wall Street Journal published “America’s A-List of Internships,” and the Boston Globe was the only newspaper included on it. To make the final list, the Journal said “internship programs had to receive multiple recommendations from employers” and “stand out from competing programs.”

So, if any student in your chapter is seeking a summer internship next year, please consider our program.
A fuller description of the program as well as an application can also be downloaded from our Web site.

Sincerely,
Paula Bouknight

2009 Board Election

Calling all AAJA Sacramento Members!

This is a friendly reminder for you to vote – not just in the presidential election – but in your local AAJA chapter! Check your e-mail for the ballot. Deadline is Sunday, Oct. 26. 

We have a dynamic list of candidates – Pamela Wu from KCRA 3 and Ed de la Fuente from The Sacramento Bee would like to join the board.

And we have veteran members like Sandy Louey of the Bee and Susie Wong of CalEPA who have graciously offered to return to their Secretary and Treasurer posts.

We’ll be saying goodbye to our co-president Suzanne Phan as she takes a much-deserved break. We thank her and wish her the best.
