Minneapolis, MN - The Kaiser Foundation is looking for journalists of color candidates to apply for a number of internship programs.

Twelve summer internships in print and television are offered to young minority journalists interested in specializing in health reporting. Interns typically are graduating from journalism school, with strong reporting skills and previous internship experience. The 12 week program (early June 2 - late August 2002) combines in-depth training at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., with practical experience reporting on the health beat at a major metropolitan newspaper/TV station.

Interns receive $6,000 plus travel and all training expenses. Each participating news organization makes the final selection of its intern. Check the Kaiser Foundation website for details on how to apply.

Print application deadline: December 3, 2001. Broadcast application deadline: January 11, 2002.
