Applications are now being accepted by the American Agricultural Editors Association for the organization’s 2013 Summer Internships.
One undergraduate college student in agricultural communications will be chosen to work as an Editorial Intern for High Plains Journal in Dodge City, Kan., and the AAEA Marketing Communications Intern will work with Morgan & Myers and the Progressive Agriculture Foundation in its Waukesha, Wis., office.
Each intern earns a $4,500 stipend for approximately 10 weeks and another $1,000 to cover the costs of attending the Agricultural Media Summit in Buffalo, New York, Aug. 3-7. The new AAEA Marketing Communications internship is made possible through a grant from the AAEA Professional Improvement Foundation, with support from BCS Communications and Gardner and Gardner Communications. The AAEA Editorial Communications internship is sponsored by the AAEA Professional Improvement Foundation.
Internship applications are available at the American Agricultural Editors’ Association website. The applicants will answer the following questions:
“I would like to be the AAEA intern because…”
“What I hope to learn as the AAEA intern is…”
“When I graduate from college, my ideal job would be…”
They are also asked to include a resume, past internships, examples of their work, a letter of recommendation and a statement on their interest in agricultural communications. Applicants are required to be a member of the National Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow organization – they may join either through their college ACT chapter or as an at-large member at the organization’s website.
