When you start an internship at The Indy, you start with editors who trust you to write larger projects or breaking news, who help you prepare for interviews with prominent figures and give you the feedback needed to become a better writer. You won’t ever feel alone walking into assignments because your editors will have communicated with you on what their vision for coverage is, what the issues are and why the coverage matters to the public. This has been a fulfilling experience from the beginning to end and you come out of the the internship with a deeper understanding of the state.
