So I interned at a newspaper near my hometown this summer, The Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune. I became fast friends with most of my co-workers there. I didn't fetch coffee, I didn't do any type of typical, horror-story intern work. I was out on the street learning first hand how to report on anything and everything. It has been invaluable to me. Enough with the praise, my editor when I was there is no longer with the Trib, but he is working for a philanthropy-based online news service. I encourage you to check it out if you live in central Wisconsin, I am sure it will be worthwhile as Jeff is as excited as I am for the future of our medium. You can find him here: Community News 2.0. Here is a classy pic of him, looking to break the next big news story.
