shoot video and do it on a regular basis to help a separate staff of TV shooters.
The intern will shoot daily newspaper assignments, will be responsible for producing
one photo project, and will go through video training. The full-time internship
is open to qualified minorities who are juniors, seniors or recent graduates
in good standing. Portfolios should show creativity and diversity in general
assignment, news, features and sports. Slide portfolios should be no more than
40 images. Digital portfolios should be self-running slide shows on Mac formatted
Zip 100 or CD. Send cover letter, resume and portfolio.
