The Journal Times, the daily newspaper of Racine County, has been awarded one of four diversity grants from Lee Enterprises, Inc., its parent corporation, to hire a minority intern on the sports staff. The monies for the grant program must be used by the end of September, so we are seeking a student for an eight-week internship during the summer or at the beginning of the 2001 fall semester. The Journal Times' award-winning sports staff covers everything from youth sports to the pros, including the Milwaukee Brewers and Bucks and the Green Bay Packers. In turn, the successful candidate will help improve the diversity of The Journal Times' newsroom and will bring another fresh set of eyes to the Racine County community. The program also allows us to provide leadership and job training to the upcoming generation of sports journalists and establish a positive working relationship with college journalism programs.
Many schools also offer credits for such internships.
