Deadlines approaching for major newspaper internships for summer 2011

Halloween may be more on your mind right now than what you plan to do next summer, but believe it or not this is the final week to apply for summer 2011 internships with many of the nation's largest newspapers.  Columnist Joe Grimm, writing for Poynter Online, reported this week that deadlines for next summer's newspaper internships tend to fall between Nov. 1 and Dec. 1.  At the Dallas Morning News, for instance, internship applications are due by Oct. 30, with the exception of photography internships (due Dec. 1).  Poynter Online's article said Nov. 1 is the deadline at the Boston Globe, the Denver Post, the Arizona Republic, the Indianapolis Star, the St. Petersburg Times and the Washington Post.  At the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, you have until Nov. 15 to apply. 

So, while searching this week for the perfect costume for the big Halloween party, you might also want to freshen up the resume, collect your best writing samples and apply for a summer 2011 internship with one of the nation's top newspapers.
