The National Post reports in its Wednesday edition that parent company Postmedia is welcoming more than a dozen emerging journalists to its newsrooms across the country this summer. The unbylined item says the summer internship program is intended to give students and recent graduates hands-on experience while helping build a pipeline of journalists who understand local communities and the role journalism plays in Canada's public life. "At a time when the media landscape continues to evolve in response to industry changes, we believe it is essential to keep investing in up-and-coming talent," said Duncan Clark, Postmedia's chief content officer. "These internships are about giving students and new graduates practical experience inside newsrooms. That means working within real news cycles, learning how strong stories are identified and pursued, and seeing how teams across Postmedia connect to audiences." Interns will work for up to 16 weeks in Postmedia newsrooms, including National Post, Financial Post, Vancouver Sun, Edmonton Journal, Calgary Herald, Regina Leader-Post, Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, Montreal Gazette, Ottawa Citizen, London Free Press, Windsor Star, Fredericton Daily Gleaner and Halifax Chronicle Herald.
