"This internship may have changed my life. Not only is a dream come true to work for The Washington
Post, but it also sparked my interest to work in online journalism. I love the optimism of the future
of news on the Web and the innovation in developing it. Getting the chance to work along the top
journalists in the country at washingtonpost.com is surreal and invaluable for my career."
Anna is an intern at the multimedia and breaking news desk of the washingtonpost.com, while she
studies at Ithaca College's Washington, D.C. program for the fall semester. Before this internship,
Anna did four internships in print journalism, always with the goal of becoming a newspaper journalist.
While at the post.com, Anna learned many news skills at the online breaking news desk, which was just
named the best overall news site by several organizations, and on the multimedia/video desk, which just
received the first Emmy given for online news coverage. Because of this incredible experience, she now
feels prepared to enter this booming medium of news with skills in video, audio, photo and print
editing and producing.
Anna said she would encourage all student journalists to try many different mediums of journalism to
best prepare themselves for the changing world of the news, and to possibly spark an interest they may
not have known they had, like in her case.
She graduated in May, and now works full time at WashingtonPost.com.
Erika interned during the Spring 2007 semester at ICView, Ithaca College's alumni magazine. From a
health campaign titled "Feel Your Boobies," to a press conference and private interview with one of
journalism's most groundbreaking reporters--Bob Woodward--Erika got to cover it all. She met with her
editor regularly to pitch ideas and talk about what was going on in the life of the campus community,
but she was able to research subjects and people that took her far beyond IC and into the global news
sphere. The experience she got while being not only an independent writer but also a copy editor and
researcher for a professional magazine has really prepared her to set her sights beyond campus.
Danielle describes her time at NBC Sports in Manhattan as “an outstanding experience.”
As a production intern focusing on tennis, Danielle was in charge of logging tape and pulling footage from NBC’s coverage of the French Open and Wimbledon. Her tasks varied from day to day, some days she be would sitting in on voice over sessions, compiling football research, or transcribing tapes. Danielle additionally held the title of Track and Field Researcher, preparing the latest track news for distribution to all the producers and talent. One of the most rewarding experiences for Danielle was helping create a tribute piece for announcer Bud Collins’ retirement. “Nothing was more exciting than watching the Wimbledon men’s final, and then right after seeing this piece. To see all of the clips I pulled and know that I had a part in that was a great joy!”
