Hello everyone,
My name is Sara McCloskey and I am interning at New Canaan News during this summer. During the course of the summer I will be interning with New Canaan News which will officially begin August 1st, but I will be doing freelance work throughout July. At this internship, I will be writing articles, taking photographs, and working in two different forms of media: print and online. I have taken Journalism I, II, and III as my electives in high school. My first year, I worked as a reporter on the Rampage, which was the original online newspaper. This year, [Journalism II] I became the Managing Editor for the Courant Online, which launched this year and won the Columbia Scholastic Press Association’s 2010 Scholastic Silver Crown for High School Online News Paper. This coming year, I will be one of three Editor-in-Chiefs for the Courant. My reasoning for participating in this internship and Independent Study is to broaden my media capabilities so I can be a strong leader next year for the Courant as our staff tries to integrate print and online reporting.
One of the main events that I will be covering is the 4th of July celebration. For this, I am planning on taking photos and working on putting together a comprehensive slideshow / spectacular photos for the paper.
Also, I have bought the book "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White which will help me with grammar while I write / copyedit for articles. This book was suggested by my Editors - in - Chief this year and I will be referencing it through out the summer

Reporting back soon,
Sara McCloskey
