Name: Andy Bechtel From: UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States About me: I teach editing and writing at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill. I'm interested in new ways to tell news stories and in the ethical and political ramifications of word choices (terrorist surveillance program, domestic spying or something in between?).
I have 12 years of experience in newspaper editing, most recently at The News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C.
The kind people at The Poynter Institute have published a piece that I wrote about my experiences at the Los Angeles Times site. It's called "Eight Things I Learned as a 40-Year-Old Intern."
My name is Lauren and I am a student in the College of Communication at Boston University and the Co-Founder of InternshipRatings.com. InternshipRatings.com is a resource to rate, research and compare internships in various industries across the United States.
I just read your article about your internship at age 40. I thought it was really great that you can see the value of an internship at any age. I would like to talk to you further about your internships. We recently launched an advice column on InternshipRatings.com and I think you would make a perfect contributor.
Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks! Lauren Grunstein lgrunstein@internshipratings.com
