Since 1998, the Charles Snowden Program for Excellence in Journalism has created unique internship opportunities for Oregon students, integrating on-the-job experience with training in journalism ethics.

The Snowden program would not be possible without its valued news media partners.

The program, based at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication, selects news media partners recognized for excellence in covering their communities and their dedication to teaching, coaching and mentoring emerging  journalists.

News partners provide paid, 10-week internships that allow students to work side-by-side with professionals, practicing the essential skills required to provide news and information to their communities. Reporting, photography and multimedia interns often cover general assignment stories, such police, city hall, schools sand community events. The interns often produce in-depth stories on local issues, personalities, regional heritage, and the arts.

The Snowden supports its news partners by reimbursing at least half of the salary costs of the internships.
