Subject: Applications Deadline November 3 for Winter/Spring 2001 Class
The Politics & Journalism Semester is a 4-month Washington semester for
college journalists whose career goal is political reporting. We bring 13
students to Washington twice yearly (September-December and February-May),
selected from nominees submitted by 48 participating j-schools AND from
direct applicants.
Interns receive $2,500 stipends for the semester. They're placed in major
bureaus (Wall Street Journal, Knight Ridder, Houston Chronicle, CNN, etc.)
as full-time reporting and writing interns. The heart of the program is
its twice-weekly seminar series on campaign, governance and interest group
politics -- a "headstart" program for future political reporters, now in
its 12th year.
More info and application forms for the Winter/Spring 2001 semester can be
obtained by emailing us your name and POSTAL mailing address. PLEASE
format your name and address in the body of your message so it can be
easily copied and pasted with no re-keying, e.g.:
