The Jewish Telegraphic Agency’s summer intern program has begun its 13th year, it was announced by Martin Fox, president of the JTA.
The continuation of the program was made possible this year, as in past years, by special grants from JTA Board members. The program provides on-the-job training for young people interested in Jewish journalism, Fox point out.
This year’s intern is Rifka Rosenwein. She recently graduated from Barnard College, where she majored in English. She served as Assignments Editor and as News Editor for the Columbia Daily Spectator.
Ms. Rosenwein, who is 22 years old, spent her freshman year studying in Israel, and hopes to pursue a career in journalism in that country. She will be entering the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in the fall, where she will specialize in international affairs and the relationship between politics and the press.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
