Brooke’s Answer

Good morning,
What a great question. I speak from experience as I love to write, meet new people, and take photographs. I was a journalist for a local newspaper in my hometown. It was not a large paper but I thoroughly enjoyed the interviewing process as well as taking pictures to accompany my articles. My favorite was from a local turkey farmer and I was able to see from the beginning of him getting the babies all the way up to the processing and being sold to the community. I would encourage you to look into local newspapers, see if they are in need of a journalist. Some may request a pro bono article or two to see your work. I would also encourage you to reach out on social media, let your friends know you are looking for a journalism opportunity.
Best of Luck to you and dont give up
If one person says no, keep moving forward.

Take care,
Brooke

Crystal’s Answer

There are many opportunities for journalism students at small dailies or weeklies. Some will only allow journalists with degrees to report, but I started writing for a small weekly after I graduated high school. That eventually led to 30 years in the biz. One paper allowed students to typeset items and that would lead to other responsibilities. If you’re in college, look for intern opportunities. Also in this day and age, there are tons of online sites that need content. If you need writing clips, write for an online mag in your interest. But don’t let yourself be paid nothing for more than one spec piece if you don’t have any writing examples. There are online sites that take advantage of people by asking them to write for free or very little. Good luck!

John’s Answer

You can apply for internships at papers across the country.

You can check with your hometown paper and see what kind of part-time opportunities they offer. Many of us started by taking phone calls about prep football games on Friday nights in the fall. Ask your local paper if it has a Friday night prep crew.

You may find a myriad of part-time jobs in journalism or allied fields.

You could first start at your school. Journalism and English professors sometimes hire student assistants to proofread and correct student assignments. Also, your campus learning center may provide tutoring opportunities in writing.

Other sources include job sites on the internet, where you may find copy editor, copywriter and online content writer jobs for various industries and products.

I hope that this information leads you to your perfect part-time job while in school. Good luck on your search!
