The Press of Atlantic City

Some of the most noticeable changes in Atlantic City are taking place at the street level: murals, planters, facades, block parties, park cleanups, and street lights. Community development corporations are the groups driving those improvements. We will have more to come on these efforts.

Today I wrote about AtlantiCare's VISION 2030 plan, which included making an academic medical campus in Atlantic City, partnerships with the Cleveland Clinic Cancer Institute and Drexel University College of Medicine, and turning AtlantiCare into a company worth $2 billion 🤯

  The Press of Atlantic City is seeking a creative, motivated student journalist for a 10-week paid internship this summer.   We want our interns to walk away with a rewarding, real-world newsroom experience, a collection of great articles, photos, videos and the skills they need to develop into the next generation of journalists.   Qualified candidates should be inquisitive self-starters interested in producing compelling content for our digital and print platforms. Interns should feel empowered to find and pitch great stories about our increasingly diverse communities.   We will provide an atmosphere of collaboration and support for all interns.   For our summer internships, we are seeking a variety of applicants, from news and sports reporters to photographers and videographers, but successful candidates will be innovative, capable and deadline-driven.   Interns will work alongside professional journalists in our newsroom, who will provide guidance, direction and support. Interns will also receive customized training on topics such as how to develop sources, how to prioritize diversity and inclusion in news coverage and how to pitch a great story. They’ll also have access to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists who are part of the Lee Enterprises network of more than 70 news markets across the U.S.   Exceptional interns will be considered for full-time employment at the conclusion of the program.    Qualified applicants should be enrolled in college or be recent college graduates. They also should have either completed at least one previous internship in a media market, or comparable work for a college news outlet.   Interns should have their own transportation to assignments and must be available to work a flexible schedule, including some nights and weekends. This is not a remote position. Pay is $15/hour, for a 40-week work week, with start and end dates flexible. When applying, please submit the following items: a cover letter; a resume detailing relevant journalism experience; and five examples of published journalism work to wkeough@pressofac.com
