Many of the top newspapers and magazines have early fall deadlines for their 2009 paid summer internship programs. For example: - Newsweek summer internship, application deadline: Oct. 17, 2008

These are great internships, if you can get them. You'll make good money (the NYT pays $924 per week), get to do substantive work (take photos, write articles, etc.) and learn from the best and brightest journalists in the world. But the applications can be very involved. The Post, for example, requires essays and recommendation letters. So, start working on your application ASAP. This isn't something you can do the day before it's due. -Mark GrabowskiLabels: Boston_Globe_internship, New_York_Times_internship, Newsweek_internship, paid_internship, Wall_Street_Journal_internship, Washington_Post_internship
