Internships

Internships are a vital component of your Journalism education. This page is designed to give you a head-start in finding an internship by detailing recent placements.

At the end of their internships, Dr. Luebke's students write a self-evaluation, where they are asked to address the following:

  • How well you believe you met the course goals. Discuss each and cite specific examples to support your judgments.
  • What you wish you had known when you started your internship, and why.
  • Connections between courses you have taken and your internship experiences.
  • Advice for students who might be considering an internship at your placement.

Here are some examples of what students have written about their internships:

Lindsay Lorenz's internship at Northeast Independent.
John Cuoco's internship at WHDH-TV Sports.
Alyse Garner's internship at WBZ-TV I-Team.
Jennifer Scungio's internship at The Standard Times.
Chris Sheldon's internship at Sun Publishing Company.
Samantha Turner's internship at Beacon Communications.
