I was very excited when John Burfitt recommend me to apply to your internship opening. I would be the perfect new addition you need on your team. Before I delve into my experience I would just like to say a bit about myself. I’m Edelle Gettings, a writer, photography lover and an entertainment addict. I’m a final year journalism and PR student from University of Western Sydney. I would love to get my foot into the door and gain experience in the entertainment writing and media industry. I’m a down to earth, positive person, who can get along with anyone. Although I am only looking for an internship at the moment, I am a loyal person who would love to have a long standing career at TV week and Soap Extra.
I have had no internship experience before in journalism,

This is highly important in modern media where people are time consumed and pictures can grab their attention faster than words. I was one of 12 in my cohort selected to go to China and Hong Kong for photojournalism at the beginning of the year. This is where I enhanced my photography skill set and developed basic editing skills.
Throughout university I have always excelled in my subjects, especially journalism. I have taken units such as news teams, feature writing, journalism investigation and photojournalism. In my news team subject I was appointed the leader and we have so far managed to get a published outcome in the Daily Telegraph. I assisted this in the editing process, and delegating roles to the other team members. Through this I have learnt how to work in a fast paced, news team environment, leadership and confidence.
Lastly, I would like to say that the opportunity you have available is one that would not only be great for me, but for you. Please refer to my resume for full details of my experience with both journalism and my two previous internships in public relations. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kind Regards,
Edelle
Taylor Sampson interviewed Jay Welsh, current Florida Virtual School instructor in Journalism and seasoned broadcast journalist to talk to him about the career of journalism. When asked what would all aspiring journalists study and do before entering the profession he states “Number one is a great writing education. Very little is done without a script, and you are responsible for writing that script.” He also says to follow your passion “There is all types of different fields (for journalism careers). Mine was sports. For others it might be politics, fashion, wild life.” He even says every aspect of life has a journalist path. “The last thing would have to be comfortable speaking. You’re going to be in front of people. It can be a bit egotistical if you like being the center of attention; because that’s what you are.”
An internship can also heighten the awareness of community issues, motivates to create opportunities, embrace new ideas, and give direction to positive change. A successful internship can provide valuable information in making decisions about the direction of future studies or employment. An internship is an opportunity to not only use and develop industry-related knowledge and skills, but also to enhance some of the skills that are transferable to any professional work setting. For some people, the internship is the first introduction to the world of work. No matter where the skills and understanding of professionalism lie, internship is a chance to develop them even further.
You are correct, the two of us never finalize anything. Although, I was under the impression you wanted me to do some various work duties. I know until I obtain certifications I am limited in what I am allowed do. If you are interested I would be willing do some part-time work such as an Anger Management or CBT group for you.

I am a third-year student at Seton Hall University and I am writing to you with great enthusiasm regarding the internship opportunity with the non-profit organization, the National Urban League.

I am interested in an internship in the news department at WSB-TV. I am currently a sophomore at Savannah State University, majoring in mass communications with a concentration in online journalism.
I was, of course, too young to understand the attributes of a good photography at age fourteen, but I would still flip out my phone at all times of the day and snap pictures of anything that seemed interesting. As time went on, I started to understand what made a good photo and what didn’t. I learned to shoot people in the shade on sunny days to avoid strong shadowing, to leave “breathing room” for objects not facing directly towards the camera, to use grid lines in order to balance a photo, and so on. Photography became the first passion I had for learning more outside of school, and I longed to learned as much as I could. I soon became even more excited about travelling because I knew there would be brand new landscapes and cities to capture. I came to see that there was a specific patience to taking pictures in new places. I would always be twelve steps behind my family as I would continually pause to raise up my camera and quickly set up for a seemingly good

My journalistic experience has been a learning experience that I have enjoyed. I have been in convergence media for my school for two years, and I don’t regret it at all.

I am particularly interested in securing employment with the Division of Marketing at the association since my skills and abilities are well-suited to your internal and external customers. My strong business administration and organizational skills have enabled me to undertake various increasingly challenging roles throughout my school years as a business student. Though I have no work experience, I believe that when given the chance to work with the organization, I can help improve marketing initiatives as well as productivity.
Another skill a good photographer should have, is the ability to pick very unique and interesting locations and items to take pictures of. For example, take a picture of a flower and place it next to a picture of a roaring lion, most people will want to choose the lion. Why is that? People simply find the picture of the lion more exciting. This is the perfect opportunity to travel and go to exotic places. It is a great experience and it makes you money (“Job description 2”).
