CoPress

A few things to note for the j-students out there:

• Esteemed CoPress consigliere Bryan Murley and the Center for Innovation in College Media are searching for their first intern this semester. He or she would help produce content for their blog and, thanks to the magic of the Internet, can telecommute to work from anywhere. The January-April gig pays a modest stipend, too. It’s a great opportunity for some practical experience in new media with the non-curmudgeony CICM. More details are here and here. (CoPress kids would apply, but isn’t that a conflict of interest?)
• Twitterers, get thoughts about college journalism off your chest – in 140 characters or less – this Sunday from 8 to 11 p.m. EST. Just use hashtag #collegejourn to join discussion with other tweeple. Run by Benjamin Leis (@benleis) of PR shop The Campus Buzz, this is the first of what he hopes will be weekly chats. See the web site.
• The Online News Association will begin offering free webinars for their members through Poynter’s NewsU. First up on Jan. 28, a lesson on the “Semantic Web.” Links, tags, and metadata, oh my! The ONA puts on a number of solid events throughout the year, and costs students just $25 to join. It may be well worth your while.
