Star-Gazette Academic Internship Guidelines
The Star-Gazette newsroom provides academic internships for students
who have an interest in journalism. Academic internships are unpaid
learning experiences. The Star-Gazette follows guidelines established
by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) to ensure
our compliance with the law.
What's required to become an academic intern:
The work performed by the intern must be directly
related to his or her educational course work.
The intern must receive course credits for his or
her work or is required to complete the work in order to graduate.
The intern must prepare a report on his or her work
experience and submit it to a faculty supervisor.
The Star-Gazette must have a letter or other written
documentation from the intern's school confirming that the internship
has been approved as educationally relevant.
What to expect if you're an academic intern:
Learning objectives will be identified.
The intern will spend no more than 50 percent of
his or her time performing work that's also done by Star-Gazette
employees.
The company will teach the intern a skill, a process,
how to use equipment, or about the business.
A Star-Gazette staff member will supervise the intern.
The intern will not be guaranteed a job upon completion
of the internship or graduation.
The intern will abide by Star-Gazette policies and
procedures. Failure to do so could terminate the internship.
