Students: No summer internship? Don’t despair!

Joe Grimm, the well-known newspaper recruiter and a great AAJA supporter,  recently wrote in his “Ask the Recruiter” column that students  still looking for internships have reason to to hope — media outlets are still looking too.

Media outlets are accepting applications for last-minute internships. Such internships have come up for a variety of reasons including  an improved budget picture that has allowed for paid internship positions and a need to fill positions left vacant by students who have opted to turn them down for full-time jobs or for personal reasons.

Look around around the journalism job boards and follow up with employers — an internship may still be an option for you.
