AGENCY FUNCTION: Weekly
business newspaper serving Greater Hartford
INTERN ACTIVITIES: The
Hartford Business Journal is offering spring, summer, and fall internships for
students interested in business journalism.
We’re a
small staff, so interns will get hands-on, real-world experience in covering
business news in Connecticut. Interns will be taught to research and write
content for our up-to-the-minute Web site and our weekly print edition; take
photos; and copy edit articles from our professional reporters and editors. Along
the way, interns will meet and interact with prominent members of New England’s
business and political communities
The
internship is unpaid, but interns will compile a stack of clips to showcase
potential employers after graduation. We’re flexible on hours, days and the
length of the internship, but candidates need to be willing to commit to 20
hours per week with the paper. Interns also will need a driver license and a
car, although the Hartford Business Journal will reimburse for travel, parking and
tolls for any business-related work. Candidates should possess excellent
writing skills, solid organizational skills, and be motivated to learn.
To
apply, send a resume and a one-page letter spelling out your aspirations as a
journalist to senior reporter Brad Kane at bkane@HartfordBusiness.com. Any published writing samples
are a plus. Spring applications are due Nov. 30; summer applications are due
April 30; and fall applications are due Aug. 15.
