Dear Colleague:
November 1, the postmark deadline for the Dow Jones Newspaper Fund's internships programs, is approaching quickly. Please encourage your juniors, seniors and graduate students to apply for the 2006 Newspaper and Sports Copy Editing Internships. These offers pre-internship training, training-related transportation and lodging, 10 weeks of paid work at daily newspapers and $1,000 scholarships for those who return to school in the fall. Online and PDFs versions of application forms can be accessed at http://djnewspaperfund.dowjones.com/fund/cs_internships.asp.

To qualify, students must take our Controlled Editing Exam by the postmark deadline. We thank those professors who have volunteered to serve as campus exam monitors. Those who would like to volunteer can still do so by sending e-mail to [log in to unmask].

The Business Reporting Internship Program for Minority College Sophomores and Juniors just marked its 10th anniversary. The deadline is also Nov. 1. In addition to taking a reporting test (different from the editing exam), these students must also submit copies of three to five recent clips. The program features are similar to those for the copy editing internships. Please recommend students apply.

If you have questions, please contact Richard Holden, executive director, at [log in to unmask]
