The Legislative Gazette A semester-long PAID internship at The Legislative Gazette prepares you to work for a newspaper or in other meaningful communication positions straight from college and earn up to 15 upper division credits while doing it. How? You’ll be reporting on the bustling, influential political arena of the third largest state’s capital in Albany, New York. You’ll attend press conferences and ask the governor of New York questions. You’ll work alongside reporters from The New York Times and the Associated Press. You’ll have phone calls returned from powerful policy makers. And your reporting will provide facts that will help these policy makers shape legislation. Consequently, your resume and portfolio of news clips will stand out in a crowd of job applicants. You can expect to gain extensive newsgathering and news-writing experience and have an opportunity to hone your skills in journalism, photojournalism, Web reporting and video to Web. After all, you and your fellow interns are The Gazette’s staff reporters and photographers. You’ll probe for answers at press briefings and report on the machinations of New York’s Senate and Assembly committees and state regulatory agencies. You’ll conduct interviews, unearth leads, attend relevant meetings and write the stories and take photographs both for the paper’s print edition and website. From government reform to environmental issues, from health policies to elections, you will have the opportunity to report on the prevailing, often controversial, issues that face large states. You will witness government in action. The internship is offered every spring, summer and fall semester.
