The Reading Eagle will hire 4 interns for the summer in the following areas: news, sports, photography and design.
We use interns to cover the heavy vacation time during the summer. Interns are treated as regular staff members and usually compile a substantial clip file. The assignments depend on the intern``s ability.
We conduct interviews from late December through January. We aim to have positions offered by the end of January and look for commitments in early February.
We select the best candidates available, so experience usually is important. Most times that experience was gained at a college newspaper.
Send your résumé by mid January. Also include clips and references.
If selected, you will be assigned an editor who will work directly with you and give you feedback on your work. You will work a 35-hour week. We expect 10 weeks on the job. You will need a car (except for the intern in design).
We circulate about 60,000 Monday through Saturday and about 82,000 Sunday.
