Internship Workshop
Heading for a summer internship? Looking to get one next year? Even professors will tell you no class can compare to real newsroom experience.

Come hear Orlando Sentinel recruiter Dana Eagles discuss what he looks for when choosing an intern--and what he listens for once that intern goes to work.

Learn how to wow your editors and steer clear of their pet peeves. Network with other journalists and discuss internship opportunities. And, as always, free pizza!

SPJ Internship Opportunity

The Orlando Sentinel is offering a $6,000 scholarship for UCF digital
media students interested in digital/multimedia journalism.

Applications are now available online for the May 15 deadline. The
student awarded this scholarship will be offered one of three
internship opportunities at the Sentinel: Web producer with Orlando
CityBeat, multimedia producer or video producer, or Web journalism
intern.

The scholarship winner will complete a 15-to-20-hour-a-week internship
for two semesters. Applicants must be in good standing with a minimum
3.0 GPA.

The application may be downloaded

Applications are also available in Digital Media, Orlando Tech Center
500, 12461 Research Parkway. More information: Michelle Ferrier,
407-823-3610, mferrier@mail.ucf.edu.

So the application says digital media majors, but I'd thought I'd
bring it to everyone's attention in case you are a double major in
digital media and journalism.
