Responsibilities include pitching and writing stories about student life, as well as writing our weekly “Weekender” series and updating our “Neighborhood” series. Other tasks include helping staff writers with background research, transcribing audio, closed-captioning videos, and assisting with breaking news stories. 

The deadline for applying for the internships is this Friday, December 3.
