I’m Allison Hunter, the newly hired journalism program manager for the Scripps Howard Fund, and, as you may know, one of our goals is to support students as they pursue practical journalism experiences.
From now until February 1, 2024, we’re putting a call out for students and 2024 graduates who are looking opportunities to exercise their in-depth research, writing and issue reporting skills in smaller newsrooms around the country. The Fund is partnering with the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN), which supports more than 425 news organizations, including the 77-member Rural News Network covering rural America. There are four 10-week internships and four 20-week internships.
The nonprofit newsrooms selected for the 20-week internships are:
- Carolina Public Press
- ICT
- The Daily Yonder
- Wisconsin Watch
The nonprofit newsrooms selected for the 10-week internships are:
- KOSU
- South Dakota News Watch
- Lower Cape TV
- Oklahoma Watch
You can learn about the internship descriptions and apply here.
Once selected, an intern can apply to the Fund for a grant to help with housing, relocation, and other expenses to support their ability to accept an internship. Grant applications will open in the spring.
Please circulate this information to your students. *There should also be a flyer attached to this email.
And feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.
Thank you!
