2002 Interns Selected
(SPJ's 2002 interns were given an opportunity to sound off about their experiences. Here are excerpts from their essays.)
Mkhael Keany, Honolulu magazhe When I arrived at the Honolulu magazine oftices, the editors expected me to be able to write publishable material. Before the first week of my internship was over I had written my first short piece, and right after I turned it in, (editor) John Heckathorn briskly rewrote it in proper magazine style. I guickly learned that magazine writing is a bit different from hard news reporting, but once I got that under my belt, things went smoothly.
I suppose I had a mental image of an intern as a down-trodden, coffee-making drudge. Not a reality, as it turned out. I didn't have to make coffee once. I felt like I was a real part of the team, and not just relegated to filing-type jobs.
Mary Vorsino, Honolulu Star-Bulletin
The city desk started me off pretty slow with news briefs and retyping press releases. For the first couple of days the extent of my information gathering was to call up press release contacts and double check times, dates, etc. After my first story was published, and after constantly letting the city editors know that 1 wanted a challenge, I got more and more interesting stories assigned to me.
I loved the daily action and newsroom feel. The atmosphere really taught me a lot about working at a fast pace
Jennifer Burke, Trade Publishing Co. I was assigned to two magazines, Hawaii Hospitaly, a hotel and restaurant industry magazine, and Building Industry, a construction industry magazine.
The scope of work and real-life journalistic experience gained at Trade Publishing far reached my expectations of a summer internship, and I would recommend it to any student interested in journalism. Fortunately, after the internship ended, I was offered a part-time editorial position, which I thankfully accepted.
Sam Suen, PacificNews.net
I think more important than any journalistic lesson I gained from this summer internship was the experience of working, interacting and dealing with people in the "real world" on a daily basis. Nothing compares to what you gain from actually working the every day grind in a daily internship. Even the most realistically simulated environment in college, at the school newspaper for example, pales in comparison.
Sacha Mendelsohn, Pacific Business News
On my first day at PBN I attended the regular Monday morning staff meeting. I was immediately given a couple of stories to work on. And I was treated like another reporter. The first week my assignment load was a bit less than the usual four stories per week that other reporters were doing.
By the time I left I was completing two to three stories each week. And I was able to cover part of another reporter's beat while she was on vacation.
With the guidance of my editor; Jim George, I was able to improve my ability to write an interesting and stronger lead. Initially my leads tended to be "term paperish." My leads did improve and I carry this into my work at Ka Leo.
