Opportunities for UAlbany journalism students

Here's some information on two prestigious paid media internships being offered during the Summer of 2008 to UAlbany students.

The John Ben Snow Foundation Internships: $7,500 will be available for 3 interns ($2,500 each) to work on a media internship in a geographic area roughly defined as "Central New York," meaning from Rochester east to Utica, and down to the Pennsylvania border. (Obviously, the boundary lines are not exaclty and firmly drawn.) The internship can be in just about any kind of media, except pure advertising. Students will find their own internships, or can ask for the UA Journalism faculty to help secure internships.

New York Daily News Internship: for an hourly wage of $10-$12, one student will rotate among several editorial departments on the Daily News. Students will be able to earn 3, 4, 5, or 6 credits in either internship program. Each of these opportunities will involve an application process with a deadline to be determined (probably sometime in early-to-mid April), and selection by the Journalism faculty.

More specific details and application materials will be coming soon from the Journalism Program.

Prof. Armao...I was wondering if there is anywhere I can get more information on the internship with the Daily News, maybe a link or application, or something.
