LEO Weekly Is Seeking Fall 2022 Interns

Come learn with us!

We’re looking for a few exceptional student journalists to join our newsroom this fall. You’ll get a chance to take the pulse of the city, interview creative people and even confront the powers that be. Working closely with an editor, you’ll get to write. You’ll get to take photos. You’ll get bylines and photo credits. And suffice to say, the only coffee you’ll fetch will be your own.

We pay $14/hour, so you must be eligible to work in the U.S. (we’re also open to candidates who prefer course credit). You should be able to join us for 7-15 hours each week and have transportation (or the ability to access public transit), since we’ll be sending you out on assignment. You must live within our coverage area for that same reason.

If this sounds appealing, please send a cover letter, resumé and three samples of your work to Scott Recker at [email protected].

Please specify whether you are most interested in photography, food writing, arts writing, news writing or some combination. We’ll consider applications on a rolling basis, but please aim for Friday, Aug. 26.
