The Summer Minority Intern Program is just one of the Sun-Sentinel's programs for high school students.
The program identifies talented young people and helps train them for careers in journalism. Our summer interns develop communication skills, interact with newsroom staff, make money and build credentials for college and scholarship applications.
The summer interns also get to be part of a major news provider in South Florida. The newspaper reaches more than 252,000 readers on weekdays and 358,000 on Sundays. The paper is distributed in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties.
The Sun-Sentinel also distributes information online through its Web site, sun-sentinel.com.
The main office is in downtown Fort Lauderdale at 200 E. Las Olas Blvd. Journalists also work in Sunrise, Weston, Delray Beach and West Palm Beach.
WHAT: A six-week program for minority students interested in careers in journalism. Students are paid $240 per week and work under the direction of the newspaper's reporters, editors, photographers and graphic specialists. Students from Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties are invited to apply.
WHO: Writers, graphic artists and photographers.
REQUIREMENTS: Must be available from June 19 to July 28, Monday-Friday. Interns spend two weeks in the Sun-Sentinel's Fort Lauderdale office, then they have the opportunity to be assigned to other Sun-Sentinel offices, including Delray Beach and Weston. Interns must have reliable, daily transportation.
To apply, you must provide:
• Application form.
• Letter of recommendation.
• Between five and eight samples of your work.
