It’s hard to find an internship that actually pays you AND gives you real-world experience to boot. 

However, an internship with the Star Tribune does that and more! 

One of the self-proclaimed best summer internship programs available, the Star Tribune newsroom offers several 10-week paid internships to selected candidates each and every summer. 

If you plan to pursue a career in journalism, this internship might be a perfect fit for you. Not only do you experience hands-on training to prepare for a career, but you are paid for your time as well. 

How’s that for a pretty sweet deal? 

Summer interns will be paid the same rate as a first-rate professional, which amounts to more than $650 per week. 

While applicants are selected based on several qualifying factors, most successful interns have already completed their junior year of college and had experience working for a smaller paper as an intern. 

While this is by no means necessary, it does factor heavily into the decision making process. 

Another great aspect of a Star Tribune Internship is the possibility for full-time employment after graduation. 

Not only will you be paid to gain hands-on experience in an actual newsroom environment, but the Star Tribune has offered full-time employment opportunities to excellent interns in the past. 

If you are interested in applying for a Star Tribune internship, there are several things you must do. 

To apply, you must send a completed application letter, a current resume, your clips and/or portfolio and two letters of reference. 

Send all of these materials in the same envelope to: 

Brenda Rotherham

Newsroom recruiting manager

Star Tribune

425 Portland Avenue

Minneapolis, MN 55486 

Applicants must apply by December 1^st of the preceding year. The deadline for this summer has already passed, but you can apply by December 1^st, 2007 to be considered for a Summer 2008 internship. 

Good luck!
