Greetings Baruch College,
I always treat everyone at Baruch College respectfully no matter what.
Treating everyone at Baruch College and CUNY politely and respectfully is more important than anything.
Without respect we have chaos.
I’m doing a little polite and respectful investigative journalism right now.
I don’t think it’s fair that if a student has connections, they can take an with very little if any homework.
If a student doesn’t have contacts like me to land an internship, they have to take a class which is 20X the amount of work as an internship.
Please let me know who makes the decisions pertaining to the Baruch College journalism internship?
I would like to try and contact the person/people.
I know when interacting with a government school there are a lot of people involved.
I understand that everyone at Baruch College/CUNY are doing their best for students.
I don’t have connections to get an internship.
I don’t have time to contact thousands of news websites in all 50 states to find someone who will give me an internship.
I started contacting news websites and they don’t want me for whatever reason.
It’s very competitive.
Luckily anyone can start a blog and video channel for $100 so I can be an independent journalist.
I would love $100,000 per year from mainstream news media although realistically it’s not happening at 49 years old.
I’m confident from past experience that I’m going to have to take the JRN 4900 class. It’s no big deal.
I would like to ask whoever is in charge if I can intern for a Baruch College or any CUNY school news website/paper.
I don’t see the difference.
The professor you referred me to who is in charge of the journalism internship told me to contact local news websites.
Why not a CUNY news website?
I like writing articles and see how things run.
Working for a school paper should be the alternative in my humble opinion.
Working for a school paper is something that would have value to a CUNY graduate school.
Please let me know who makes the decision so I can politely and respectfully contact the individuals or person.
If they say no which I assume they will, I’ll gladly take the JRN 4900 class which rate my professors says is 20X the amount of work as the internship that all the (some word I’m not sure what, desirable, connected, smart) students are landing except me.
Working for a CUNY school news website is closer to a journalism internship than taking a class.
Working for a school news website would give me some articles I could utilize of examples of my work.
Please advise.
Thank you and have a great day.
