Description:
We are looking for a hard-working reporting intern to write for Page 1 and local news. This is a paid internship that runs from June until late August, with flexibility of dates based on your schedule. Duties will consist of writing news and feature stories. Self-motivated and enterprising reporters will have the best experience.
We are a 35,000-circulation daily in a strong newspaper market and the primary source of news for most people in the Yakima Valley, a rural community that’s dealing with meaty issues like immigration, gang violence and growth. Two and a half hours from Seattle and situated on the sunny side of the Cascade Mountains, we are in the heart of Central Washington. The Yakima Herald-Republic is part of the family-owned Seattle Times Company.

Previous internships or experience writing for a college publication would be ideal but are not required.
Applicants who are recent college graduates are preferred. Spanish-language skills are a must. If no suitable graduates are available, we will consider students currently working toward a college degree.
How To Apply:
Please submit a cover letter explaining why you’re interested in the Herald-Republic, what you can contribute and what you hope to learn, as well as available dates; a resume, up to 10 work samples and a list of three references. Letters of reference also are acceptable. Applications must be postmarked or e-mailed by May 7.
