The following internship information is hot off the e-mail:

As the recruiter for The Boston Globe newsroom, I’m excited to tell you about our 2015 summer internship program, and ask you to share this information with the students in your chapter.

The Boston Globe runs one of the top programs in the nation, giving 11 interns the opportunity to work as reporters, or as a photographer, designer or copy editor.

The 12-week paid internship places reporter-interns in our Metro, Business, Living/Arts, Health/Science and Sports departments; the photo intern shoots stills and video for all sections, the design intern creates sections fronts and information graphics for print and online, and the copy editing intern works on local and regional, national and foreign and business copy. We provide direction and feedback, as well as a writing coach who is dedicated to the interns. Globe interns produce every day and finely polish their journalism skills over the summer.

The application deadline is Nov. 1. More information on the program and an application can be accessed from our website: www.bostonglobe.com/newsintern.

Thank you,

 Paula Bouknight

The SPJ Ethics Committee has brought forward the proposed revision to the Ethics Code, which has been under consideration since last year’s national conference. The delegates, of which I am one, will vote on it at tomorrow’s business meeting. Here’s a link to the revised code if you’d like to review it. I’d welcome any comments or input from Arkansas Pro members.
