Missouri Press Foundation Internships

Students enrolled in an accredited journalism program at a Missouri institution of higher learning are eligible to train this summer as part of the Missouri Press Foundation Internship Grants Program.

They may work as newspaper reporters, editors, photographers, designers, advertising representatives or web site editors/reporters depending on the job being offered by the participating newspapers.

In addition to earning a salary, interns may receive institutional credit if their school allows it. Interns must assume responsibility to arrange credit with their institution.

POTENTIAL INTERNS SHOULD CONTACT NEWSPAPERS DIRECTLY.
It is important that potential interns identify themselves as Missouri Press Foundation summer internship applicants. Each newspaper will be responsible for the hiring and negotiating salary with their intern.

Interested candidates should contact the following newspapers to express their interest in the internship program:
