Valley Advocate; Northampton, MA

As an intern at Valley Advocate my job responsibilities were:


  • upkeep of press release filing system

  • maintenance of the newspapers current events calender

  • CD reviews, occasional article, art news

I found this to be a wonderful opportunity, as I was able to build a portfolio of non-academic writing and was able to see the time line of newspaper production.


For future students I would urge them to know exactly which industry they want to work for and do an internship there, and also to do as many internships as possible.
