Check out student interns' stories
NYCMA is thrilled to announce the start of our summer internship program. We are able to place high school seniors with a passion for journalism in the real world of pad and pen. Students are given a rare insight and understanding into the power and function of New York's community media and the ability to hone writing skills in preparation for a career in journalism. This program is made possible by a generous grant from an anonymous donor.
