Big bucks and great experience are available for students interested in interning for 'world-famous' newspapers and magazines.
Internship applications are available for magazines such as Fortune, National Geographic, Rolling Stone, the Ensign, the New Era and the Friend.
Applications are located in the Department of Communications Internship Office at F340 HFAC.
Ed Haroldsen, director of the internship office, said deadlines are approaching for three different organizations.
The Business Press is offering internships to students with journalism experience. Applications must be returned to the internship office by Nov. 15.
Jack Nelson, a professor of communications, said the company usually picks two students from BYU. Last year no one from BYU applied, he said.
Students interested in writing for magazines affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints need to hand their applications to the internship office by Nov. 22. The application includes an application form, resume, portfolio, writing samples and clippings.
Seventeen, Glamour, Time and Reader's Digest are some of the magazines associated with American Society of Magazine Editors. The internship application is due at the internship office by Dec. 6. Heavy involvement and interest in journalism and magazine work are necessary qualifications for this position.
All three of these internships are paid. The Church magazines offer a competitive salary, while the two other positions pay $300 per week.
Haroldsen said students with questions about these internships or others available may come to the internship office for answers.
