Students studying photojournalism or TV-film are particularly encouraged to apply although the internship is open to any student studying journalism or mass-communications wishing to gain Web experience. Availability is on a case-by-case basis.
Please send a short cover letter, resume and contact information to interns@hometownannapolis.com.
Digital media and Web development internships - HometownAnnapolis
Unpaid internships in Web development depend on the needs of the department. Design- and computer-science-specific internships are often available, to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Design interns are usually expected to help in creating advertising, promotions and — depending on skills — user interface elements. Send information to interns@hometownannapolis.com
Internet Marketing/Advertising - HometownAnnapolis
Interns participate in the research and development stages of producing a revenue generating Web site.

The student should be currently enrolled in college and have completed at least two years with a declared major in either business administration or mass-communications, preferably specializing in marketing.
To apply, please send a cover letter about yourself. Include contact information and the following: semester applying, courses most interested in, school attending, preferred work schedule and major. Also include previous work experience. The internships are unpaid. Send information to interns@hometownannapolis.com.
