Where did you intern?

I participated in the Living, Learning and Earning experience of the Walt Disney World College Program at the Walt Disney World Resort. I played the role of a Merchantainer in Frontierland, in the Magic Kingdom Park.

(Yes, that's actually how they tell you to identify the "internship" - glorified indentured servitude, but fun as hell - on your resume)

 

Summer = baseball for me: Cape Cod Times, then MLB.com covering the Rangers.

 

That does sound like fun, and something that is legitimately an internship. I'd have loved to have had something like that, just for what sounds like would be the sheer uniqueness of it.

 

The Palm Beach Post. Was a great summer learning from some really talented editors.

 

Seattle Times news desk one summer, Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph news and features desks the next summer until they hired me to work the sports desk.

 

I interned at a radio station, writing the morning sports for the DJ to read. On the first day, my boss shows me how to write the sports report. Here's the AP wire for national stories -- rip and read. And here's the morning paper for local stories -- just rewrite.

I'm in print now, and what good preparation that was in understanding how my work would be used

 

Didn't intern, but I was a stringer for the paper in my college town and went to work for them after graduation. Better paid than an internship, and I could finish my degree at the same time.

 

Is is still called the Gazette-Telegraph?

 

Moscow-Pullman Daily News.
Looking back, I wish I had done more internships while in school. Then again, by not interning until the summer before I graduated, I have the pleasure of working two summers at Burger King. :-[

 

I am supremely envious of you. Very nice.

I still have a few copies of Spy -- from the funny years -- stowed away in my filing cabinet and I flip through them from time to time. What a great magazine ... and what a legacy it left on the magazine world in the years since.

 

Never interned, never did any stringing. I have no idea how I ever got a job.

 

Interned at a defunct wire service, started a few weeks before graduating college.
