Reflections on a Summer Newspaper Internship

I thought you might be interested in the impressions and reflections of one of Grace's current journalism students, Rachel Ramos, on her experience last summer as an intern with a small-town newspaper in Ohio. Note not only her editorial comments, but also some of the responses from readers of the paper.

Interesting how two students can sit through the same course for a semester, yet have two dramatically different experiences.

After not one, but TWO semesters with Terry, my drive to succeed in the newspaper industry has never been stronger.

I now consider Terry a friend, as well as one of my most trusted advisers.

You can take criticism like a man -- or like a child. And the way you handle it will determine your success or failure in the news business.

So what will it be for you?
