The\u00a0Latin American News Digest<\/em>\u00a0is seeking qualified students for a limited number of internships for Summer 2020. Because the goal of the Digest is essentially a didactic one, to spread the word about news from Latin America, we feel strongly about providing the opportunity for students to participate in this process. Student writers and researchers contribute to our weekly issues by aggregating and writing summaries of news articles found in Latin American sources. Ideally, internships happen in tandem with an independent study led by a faculty member of the appropriate department, but this is not a requirement. The result is an enriching experience for students who discover a variety of perspectives within the Latin American media. Students are able to identify trends and anomalies in the region, giving them a much greater breadth of knowledge and understanding of the hemisphere in which they live.<\/p>\n

Intern responsibilities:<\/strong>
\nInterns must be able to write brief aggregations in English that summarize multiple perspectives from newspapers written in Spanish, and sometimes in Portuguese or English. Typically, interns write 1000-1200 words per week (3-5\u00a0section articles or News in Brief items). Interns generally work approximately five-six hours per week with most of that work falling on Wednesdays and Thursdays since submissions are due on Fridays. This internship does\u00a0not<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0require onsite work.\u00a0Interns work remotely, but need to be readily available via email, cell and skype.<\/p>\n

Summer 2020\u00a0internships begin on May 14\u00a0and end on August 30. Interns are expected to be available during that time; however, consideration will be given to \u201cbreaks\u201d in the schedule if they are arranged with sufficient prior notice.<\/p>\n

Intern qualifications:<\/strong>
\nInterns must possess\u00a0excellent writing skills in English<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0advanced reading skills in Spanish<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0Ability to read Portuguese is a plus<\/strong>.\u00a0 Familiarity with Latin American civilization and culture, as well as general current events is highly recommended.\u00a0 The ability to meet deadlines is essential.<\/p>\n

Application process:<\/strong>
\nInterns should submit a letter of interest as an example of their writing skills to\u00a0Dr. Jana M. DeJong (jdejong@hsc.edu).\u00a0The letter should outline the intern\u2019s experience (coursework, travel, etc.) as it pertains to language skills and knowledge of Latin America. The names and contact information for two references must be included.\u00a0 One of the references must address the applicant\u2019s ability to write in English, while the other should address the applicant\u2019s reading ability in Spanish and\/or Portuguese. \u00a0One of the references should also speak to\u00a0the applicant\u2019s familiarity with Latin America. The letter of interest and contact information for two references must be submitted by April 17, 2020.<\/p>\n
