The famous and infamous Point Reyes Light is seeking applicants for its Literary Reporting Internships. The Point Reyes Light is the most famous small paper in the world, renowned for its Pulitzer-prize winning history and literary present. We are the subject of a feature story in the current issue of the Columbia Journalism Review entitled, `The langage of strangers. How a hotshot editor failed to comprehend the soul of community journalism.` It complains that we try to cover small town news like Joan Didion and Truman Capote: like that``s a bad thing.
