are there any internships for high schoolers of any grade to do in the summer? (i prefer interning at a magazine or newspaper)
@rachh019 Of course! I work for a nice-sized newspaper as a freelance reporter throughout the year and got hired in sophomore year after submitting my cover letter, resume and clips to a hiring announcement that said they were looking for candidates with a degree in journalism and two years of prior experience. I started an internship initiative in my school this past year and got three students placed in journalism and political internships – in fact, one of my friends got hired by Fox Sports this year and is the Assistant Director of Public Relations/Deputy Spokesman for a county-wide political candidate.
I’d love to help you out – what area to do you live in?
Start with your local newspaper. They are usually looking for someone to write articles and take photos. Try mysummeradvisor.com and look for summer programs in journalism or writing. Some are free. I don’t know any that actually pay you, but I think there are some that offer free room and board.
