The Casper Star-Tribune is looking for a smart, energetic journalism student or recent graduate to join our newsroom staff for the summer of 2014. We’re seeking someone who wants to be a top-level copy editor and page designer. This person will be a full-time member of the universal copy desk for the summer and will be counted on to improve stories, write headlines, design and proof pages and post stories to Trib.com on the fly. We’re giving preference to students who can demonstrate a vision for where our industry is headed and who wants to work in the field after graduation.
It’s not all work, of course, during the summer in Wyoming. We have an established, historic small-town feel, but with our offerings of movie theaters, restaurants, shopping and the arts, we also provide a worthwhile social experience. Miss the big city? Denver is an easy drive. Want some privacy? We’re at the base of a beautiful mountain range where you can hike and get a breath of fresh air. Outdoor opportunities are endless.
The Casper Star-Tribune is a Lee Enterprises news organization with a daily circulation of about 23,000, and we take great pride in having a statewide following and being the largest news organization in Wyoming. This is a paid internship. We are an equal opportunity employer. You can see our website at http://www.trib.com and learn more about our company at http://www.lee.net.
If this sounds like you, then submit a resume and cover letter detailing editing and design experience at http://www.trib.com/workhere. Also, please send three to five work samples to news production manager Mandy Burton at mandy.burton@trib.com.
