BY: Mitch Beck, Editor in Chief, Howlings
MONROE, CT – Are you interested in pursuing a career in sports journalism? If you are, Howlings needs sports journalism interns, so I want to hear from you. As the Editor in Chief of Howlings, and because as Director of Operations, the team’s lone Play-by-Play broadcaster, and a part-time coach with the Connecticut Chiefs, my schedule is so incredibly time-demanding and restricted, plus with my part-time gig teaching for USA Hockey, I don’t have the time to put as much energy into Howlings as I have had in the past. I love our readers, and they are not getting served as I want them to be done; I also feel those terrific writers submitting stuff to us are not getting their property published on time, which disappoints me.
Therefore, I need to find an intern who wants to learn the sports journalism’s ins and outs. I will teach you all you need to know, from writing stories to their proper editing and posting of the stories here on Howlings.
I will also get you properly credentialed into games to cover them. You will be expected to be professional while on-site and conducting interviews with players and coaches. You will write and submit to me your stories on the teams you are interested in covering, and we will get them online for our readers to see.
I will then give you whatever information you need for your college internship, and you will have worked real journalism and have a foot up on anyone else applying for a real job when you apply for them. In addition, I have placed several guys who have worked for us in the past in the field from the experience they gained here.
If you are genuinely interested, please email me at mitch@howlings.net immediately. There is an awful lot of work to be done. So please reach out to me right away.
