Newspaper vs. Newswire

This post comes prompted by my sister, who is working at a band camp this summer and still has time to check my blog to see if I’ve written anything new. I’m on Month #2 at The Buffalo News, working nights and weekends. The newsroom has switched over to a new system, so not onlyContinue reading “Newspaper vs. Newswire”

Back in the game

Well, here I am, back in the swing of things, copy editing like a maniac. Unlike last summer where my subject matter was a little more technical, I’m coming across new things every day. Here are fun things I’ve learned just from doing my job in the past two weeks: Sea birds can fly whileContinue reading “Back in the game”

Today was my first day working as a post-grad

I started my copy editing internship at The Buffalo News today. Despite getting all frazzled while driving in the morning traffic, I was ecstatic to be there. It was so cool seeing reporters I had previously known only from headshots. Being in the newsroom and feeling like I belonged in it made me smile.

Internship complete (slideshow!)

It’s hard to think that my internship process is finished. It started with me boarding a plane for Philadelphia, getting lost on their subway system and stepping into a dorm building at Temple. “Know America,” they said, handing me an atlas. “What about America?” I asked. I thought this was my first test.  I hadContinue reading “Internship complete (slideshow!)”

A day in the life

Now, I know it’s been hard to remember I actually I have an internship in New York because I haven’t been writing anything about it. But I have to keep in mind the reason why I’m here. I thought I’d run you through a day in the life of a Dow Jones intern. Once IContinue reading “A day in the life”
