The Omaha World-Herald Metro/Regional Editor, Connie White, will be on campus Tuesday, October 20, 2020, to interview students for the Spring 2021 Real World Fellowships AND Summer 2021 internships.
Below you find information and requirements for both opportunities.
Spring 2021 Real World Fellowships:
Three (3) fellowships are available: a photographer, a sports reporter and a news reporter (must be able to work Saturdays). This semester-long fellowship is 20 hours of work per work, scheduled around the selected candidate(s) class schedule(s). The position will be based largely working with the World-Herald's Lincoln bureau, with some travel to Omaha or for assignment.
*Qualifications: completion of Real World (JOUR 348) class by start of fellowship. Completion of Beginning Reporting course. Ideally, previous journalism internship.
Compensation: minimum wage for hours worked; three hours’ class credit, tuition-paid; $2,500 stipend after successful conclusion of the semester.
Summer 2021 Internships:
The Omaha-World-Herald is accepting applications for interns for a 12-week internship in the summer of 2021. We have three positions available: a sports position, a news reporter and a photographer.
Qualifications: completion of junior year in college and previous internship experience at a daily newspaper or news organization. Applicants must be currently enrolled and in good academic standing. You’ll need previous experience because you’ll be assigned the same tasks that we give our full-time reporters. Interns work on a team of reporters and typically handle spot news and enterprise.
Skills: we’re looking for curious, flexible, quick-thinking journalists who want to get better.
Compensation: $10/hour.
* For ALL interviews (spring Fellowship and summer internships) - bring to your interview: paper copies of your cover letter, resume, references, and 3-5 writing/work samples.
SIGN-UP FOR AN INTERVIEW BY 3:00 PM on MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2020.
