WHY

Get valuable hands-on training to help launch your career. See what last years interns had to say about their experiences:

With the encouragement and help of fellow interns, reporters and editors, I was truly able to find my voice as a storyteller. Being able to experience Louisville inside and outside the newsroom has been a great experience.

Kay Nguyen Oakland University

At the beginning of my internship, the editors emphasized that I was a reporter and not just an intern. That rang true during my 12 weeks here. I was held to the same standard as veteran reporters, and the experience helped me thrive as a writer and reporter.

As a designer, I love the variety and challenge that this internship provides. I gained experience working creatively on a deadline.

This internship has been my most dynamic newspaper internship by far. Not only do you acquire a broad sense of what the newspaper business is like, Alyse Kordenbrock you also go in-depth in the art Ohio University of journalism and the craft of storytelling.

At the C-J, theres an opportunity to work outside your comfort zone. Not only do you get to write for just about every desk as a news intern, but you shoot photos and video and adapt to every form of breaking news that comes your way.
