Introduction & Overview

Hi!

First off, welcome!

If you don't know me, my name is Krys'tal. I am a rising senior (graduation year 2021) at the University of Delaware majoring in English with a minor in journalism.

For anyone thinking about or actively pursuing a career in journalism, knowing what to expect from an internship, a job, or any freelance gig in-between is important in helping yourself prepare. Getting hands-on experience in the writing world is crucial to building up your resume, so while it might seem daunting to put yourself out there, remember that everyone has to start somewhere.

During the upcoming summer season, I will be interning at the News Journal full-time. In order to help others know what to expect and become more familiar with journalism, I will be posting about what my internship entails. You will find posts about my assignments, my work routine, the pace of the internship, and whatever else I think would help! My goal is that these tips will prepare you for your own internships or simply give you an idea of what work you should be doing to enhance your resume.

Thanks for tuning in and I hope you stick around!
