Externship Opportunities

Pacific Grove, CA - Carmel Pine Cone Newspaper, Features Editor

Depending on the week, we might research and write about a wide variety of subjects, from holiday origins to pets to music and vintage cars. I edit and compile content for special sections (like "Women in Business"). I also edit our bi-monthly magazine, "Healthy Lifestyles," write almost all of its content, and help choose images for it. We might edit freelancers' work, and read and evaluate pitches (proposals for articles from freelance writers). I do a combination of telecommuting and working in the office, which is about a 40-minute drive away. I work a flexible schedule, which means that while I might be working on Memorial Day, we might take time off to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on a Wednesday afternoon. Student will observe putting a weekly, hyper-local newspaper together from beginning to end. They will help prep for and conduct at least one interview, and depending on their contributions, may get a byline and/or a photo credit. If there's a local area they'd like to write about and file an article for possible inclusion in the paper, I'll provide help and guidance. They'll learn a little about Associated Press style, and participate in proofreading the paper before it goes to press. They should bring a camera (or smartphone, duh) if they'd like to learn a little about news photography. They’ll also meet others involved in the news cycle, like public relations experts. Please visit our website for more details about our work. I've specified dates tied to big local events and special sections we'll be prepping for. I suggest including a weekend (or both) on either end of the trip so we can explore Monterey County in all its diversity. We have everything from big Ag, to Steinbeck, to a huge marine sanctuary.

Possible Dates:To be determined with host (not available May 11-15); Best weeks to see interesting stuff: June 8 (architecture issue); July 6 & 13 (Bach Festival, healthcare magazine); July 27 & Aug. 3 (celebration of all things automotive, multiple events in 4 cities over 2 weeks)

Students will spend 4 days with me one on one in the office seeing patients. Students will learn what a family physician does in practice and see a variety of patients.
