If you are looking for a news internship in Pennsylvania, here is the best resource I've been able to find.
The PNA Foundation is proud to present our annual Internship Guide, which lists a variety of internship opportunities at PNA-member newspapers. We hope that this guide will help you secure a meaningful internship in the Pennsylvania newspaper industry.The guide is alphabetized by city. Each listing details information about the internships available at that publication, including editorial, advertising, photography and other valuable learning opportunities.
We do our best to keep this information up-to-date, but some of the information may have changed without our knowledge. You should contact the newspapers that interest you before applying for any internship.
We wish you success in your internship program and your future career endeavors.

This site is currently running MovableType 3.2. Monday (tomorrow) MT 3.4 is scheduled to come out of beta, and I'm getting ready to do some work behind the scenes in order to get ready for that.
The site-wide Trackback function has been turned off for several months because it had been creating errors, but we're going to try to get it fixed. If you encounter any problems while rebuilding, try disabling trackbacks on your individual blog (Settings -> Feedback, then scroll down).
heidi ruby miller: Millionaire Viewing PartyIf you didn't catch the show, I used my last two lifelines (including calling Toby), but missed the $50,000 question so went home with $25,000. That and the experience of working with the people on the show was worth the wait in line at auditions and the trip to New York. It was all truly incredible.
Attention Book Lovers!
The Seton Hill Education Club is having a book drive the first two weeks of the spring semester. The books will then be sold to raise proceeds to help fund the club's trip to the Christian Appalachian Project.
So when you return from break bring with you all those books that have been gathering dust in your basement or have been sitting on your shelves without a loving hand to read them! Ask neighbors and friends too!
We will be collecting the books in Maura Solarium beginning January 21st and running until February 2nd. Dates for the sale are February 16th and 17th from 9AM until 3PM!
