Report of the Journalistic Internship at the Holland "Evening Sentinel"

Abstract

What I am calling the academic aspect of my S.I.P. experience, the province of this report, includes what I learned about journalism in general and about the workings of a small daily in particular. !he academic component involved dealing with language in specialized ways, using certain writing styles, and emphasizing precision, accuracy and objectivity. Increased newspaper-reading speed, greater appreciation of media sources, and greater ability to write quickly were among the by-products of my experience.
