Full-time jobs and other internships often require or prefer previous professional experience. The Chronicle internship is designed to provide you with a rung on that ladder. You will publish work samples that you can show to prospective employers.
If you join the Chronicle, your supervisor will be Editor Rob Golub, winner of more than ten Milwaukee Press Club awards over the last several years and former chief editor of the daily newspaper in Racine, Wis. Golub has been running this internship for more than 15 years. His “graduates” have gone on to work or intern at Facebook, the Forward, Bloomberg, MSNBC, Moment magazine, and other news organizations everywhere. Leading editors at the newspapers of selective colleges were first our interns.
You can do this internship from anywhere, so long as you have internet and a laptop. The internship is about 20 hours per week for the summer, about 10-15 hours per week during the school year. We can adjust start/end dates.
This internship includes a Successful Journalism Workshop. You will learn how to create a more financially sustainable journalism product, one that builds trust in truthful reporting, through service and connection with an audience. Golub has written about this for Poynter and is active in the national journalism community on this topic (his site is at SuccessfulJournalism.com).
We seek bright students who are enthusiastic about journalism and have demonstrated a commitment to work or learning. An ideal candidate will have a demonstrated ability to connect with people and to take initiative. You do not need to know how to be a journalist to do this internship – we meet you at your level of knowledge.
The Chronicle is now accepting applications on a rolling basis. Send your resume, writing samples and current GPA to Chronicle@MilwaukeeJewish.org.
