Getting To Know Me
jgerman on Jun 4th 2010
Hello Fellow Interns and Professor Mills,
My name is Julia German and I am an intern at the Edith and Marks Jewish Community House of Bensonhurst. My summer responsibilities first consisted of creating press releases, proof-reading and copy-editing, writing articles for various Russian newspapers, and creating outreach pamphlets and brochures. But last week I was given an amazing opportunity to test my skills in the Journalism and Public Relations fields. The JCH has given me, on top of all my prior responsibilities, the task of creating a Journalism studio which I will run at the end of August in one of their teen camps. I will begin creating the educational materials next week, under the careful watch of my supervisor. I can’t begin to describe how truly honored I am by this assignment. At the end of this internship, I hope to sharpen my writing skills, become more comfortable speaking in front of others, and receive the experience I need to begin my exciting career in the Journalism field. Yet my main goal in all of this is to show the young teens that are participating in the Summer Journalism Studio, that this field is thrilling, lucrative, and most of all significant in today’s world.

Ms. German, I must say that this sounds like a great assignment, and one that you should be proud of yourself for earning! Congratulations! You’re sure to gain great skills while inspiring young minds. Excellent!
Hi everyone, my name is Sophia Tsang and I am interning at Track Entertainment. I work and write content for the Clubplanet department which deals mostly with music, nightlife, venues and lifestyle. I research, fact-check, edit and post articles. Additionally I approve or deny events that are available on the website. Occasionally I make phone interviews to venue owners.
My goals for this internship is simply to gain some experience working in the field of entertainment news. I am hoping to improve my journalism skills, and to network.
