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

Use the links below to read those evaluations. Information about each placement is provided to help interested students. Note, however, that the information was accurate this summer; if you pursue an internship, you should verify current contact information.
