PARSIPPANY — Are you a high school or college student looking for an internship experience with a news organization? Are you a parent that follows all the games and likes to write?
Do you study journalism or another writing major and are interested in learning about community news or high school events?
If so, Parsippany Focus is for you. Focus is currently in the process of interviewing and hiring interns for the fall semester. Our interns work hand-in-hand with our editorial staff, photographers, covering news, events, sports and other local stories for an all-online newspaper.
Student-interns will gain valuable experience in the world of community news. We put candidates right into the field where they will gain first-hand knowledge on the ins-and-outs of online newspaper business.
High School interns will be covering news and sports for their own school.
Focus internships are as hands-on as you can get, where no two stories are alike. At first, interns will follow their supervisor as they cover their assigned Parsippany town meetings, events and might even write a feature story on a high-ranking official.
Focus college internships are all unpaid and students must receive academic credit.
During the semester, interns must complete a minimum amount of hours per week that correlates with the requirements of their college or university.
Any student interested in applying for one of internship opportunities should reach out to Frank Cahill, publisher Parsippany Focus, flcahill@parsippanyfocus.com.
