Representatives of the West Virginia Power minor league baseball club will be in Martin Hall to interview candidates for summer MARKETING and GENERAL internships on Tuesday, Feb. 25. Internships are full-time and include a living expenses reimbursement of up to $600/month. Job duties include:

• Promotions through various outlets and events
• Assisting with producing creative material
• Contributing to game-day promotions

Representatives from the Dominion Post, Morgantown’s local newspaper, will be conducting interviews in Martin Hall to select two summer interns to work side-by-side with experienced reporters, photographers and editors. Journalism students looking for an opportunity to learn on-the-job should apply.

Interns should expect to hit the ground running and write hard news, features and sports articles during the 12-week internship. The internships are paid. Students typically make $10 an hour and work up to 29 hours a week.
They will rotate through Lifestyles, News, and Sports every two weeks so they get a little experience in all areas. Most times, students will work 10-3 or 4 Monday through Friday, but that changes based on assignments, especially when in their sports rotations.

Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy award the Goldsmith Prizes. They are underwritten by an annual gift from the Goldsmith Fund of the Greenfield Foundation. The Investigative Reporting Prize, which carries a $10,000 award for finalists and $25,000 for the winner, is intended to recognize and encourage journalism which promotes more effective and ethical conduct of government, the making of public policy, or the practice of politics by disclosing excessive secrecy, impropriety and mismanagement, or instances of particularly commendable government performance.
