Student Press Law Center (SPLC)
Internship
The Student
Press Law Center has internship positions available in its Washington,
D.C., area office each school semester and during the summer.
The internships are open to undergraduate and graduate students
as well as recent college graduates with experience in news writing
and an interest in media law.
Journalism
Interns at the Student Press Law Center are a crucial component
in the work of the SPLC. Interns research, write and help edit
the Report, the Center's thrice-yearly magazine that chronicles
student press law cases and controversies from around the country.
Interns serve
as the magazine's news staff, reporting and writing news stories.
Interns also write News Flashes and analysis pieces for the Center's
popular Web site. Interns have followed the efforts of state legislatures
around the country to pass laws protecting high school students'
free press rights and covered landmark litigation by the college
and commercial media seeking access to campus crime information.
Their stories have ranged from exploring the impact of school
violence on students' free expression rights to antagonism between
the student media and the NCAA.
