<p>How strong is the journalism program at Northeastern. What co ops are available?</p>
<p>I'm a journalism major. You can co-op at the Boston Globe, the Herald, the Patriot Ledger, and many smaller papers. I think the program is more geared towards print journalism majors than TV. (For example, the student newspaper is much much bigger than student radio or television). I think most of the instructors are great, and have a lot of hands-on experience.</p>
<p>Is their opportunities to do sports journalism at those papers?</p>
<p>I'm assuming you mean</p>
<p>are there opportunities...</p>
<p>Ha yeah I'm on my phone it changes grammer and messes it up all the time</p>
<p>Yeah, the Globe (if I'm remembering right) has positions at each of their major desks, including sports. I know the Patriot Ledger has sports positions. I think a few others do as well, but I don't know for sure since that's never really been my interest. What kind of sports do you want to cover?</p>
<p>Yeah I don't know yet. I'm not sure if I want to write or do something visual or involving radio but I want it to relate to sports.</p>
<p>Are there any co-ops at magazines, or publications that focus on feature stories? I'm on my HS student paper right now and have interned at a local paper before, but I don't really like the hectic, deadline-crazy atmosphere...even though I'm pushing my interest in print journalism as an applicant, I think a monthly magazine or something like that would be more my thing.</p>
<p>I think there are...but it might be less likely to be paid. Newspapers, I think, usually pay, but magazines and radio and TV usually don't.</p>
<p>Hmm...that's disappointing that the pay would be less. Thanks for the input!</p>
