    Paid summer internship:

    Budding journalists: Come learn and help us rally for local journalism at the award-winning, storied Republican-American, Sunday Republican and rep-am.com in Waterbury, Conn.

    These paid internships match our strong tradition of coaching and launching careers for reporters who, like us, punch above their weight. We seek journalists with ambition, determination and a desire to learn. In summer 2023, we have multi-platform opportunities on our copy desk and for news reporters. We treat our interns as staffers, and they climb as high as they are able in our paid program (minimum wage, or $15 an hour by this summer.)

    Minimum 10 weeks on the job. Past interns have reported page one enterprise; built multimedia packages; and beat the full-time pros at breaking news. Requirements include a car, car insurance, a cell phone with a camera and/or a camera with video capabilities. Send a letter at least three clips and photo or video samples to re-hr@rep-am.com with News Intern 2023 in the subject line.

    Deadline to apply: Jan. 31.
