 About Editorial InternshipsThe Chronicle of Higher Education seeks interns for the winter-spring 2008 session, which will begin in January. The Chronicle is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to maintaining a diverse work force.The internships are full-time in our Washington, D.C., office and will last until June 2008. In addition to a stipend, academic credit can often be arranged. The interns' primary responsibilities are reporting and writing brief features for the "Short Subjects" section and daily news articles for The Chronicle's Web site (which usually appear subsequently in print). Other assignments include writing news articles for the various sections of the newspaper and doing research for special projects. There is very little grunt work. Interns who prove themselves as reporters and writers are often asked to write full-length features. The Chronicle places a premium on reporting that is accurate and writing that shines. All writing, including that done by staff reporters, is carefully edited. Interns typically leave with a set of strong, varied clips. For information on The Chronicle, click here.
