2008 Scripps Howard Foundation Semester in Washington Program
College journalism students are invited to apply for the spring and summer 2008 Scripps Howard Foundation Semester in Washington Program
Six interns, including one international student, work as reporters for the Scripps Howard Foundation Wire in our downtown Washington bureau. We pay a stipend and provide free housing in furnished apartments in Northwest Washington near the National Zoo.
The interns' stories are published on our Web-based wire: www.shfwire.com . Some of their stories may go out on the Scripps Howard News Service to its 400 client newspapers. Students may write for hometown or campus newspapers and get internship or independent study credit while they are here. We tour Washington journalism and government institutions, bring in guest speakers and meet weekly to discuss topical issues in journalism.
The program is open to college juniors and seniors who are studying print or online journalism. It is not open to graduates or graduate students. More details and the application form are on our Web site <http://shfwire.com/> .
