students and recent graduates. Students from any major and year are
encouraged to apply.
Positions Open for
Summer 2007:

The Student Writer will write about his or her summer life and

frequency of articles and topics can be customized to the
writer's individual needs and interests. This job can be done off-site.
- Website Intern
The Website Intern is a newly created position, one
that will play a significant role in expanding and developing The Globe Leader's online website
content. The job would entail coordinating with the webmaster, who
works remotely, to choose information for the website and prepare it
for publication. The web intern can also suggest and help design new
layouts and website features.
Basic website knowledge would be required, a familiarity with HTML
preferred. All can be learned.

the editors as they produce each weekly issue of the newspaper. Unlike
the other internships, this position must be completed
on-site in The Globe Leader's
