Creating engagement on social media

By Ryan J. Ferguson This summer, I interned at Stark Media Group in Riverhead, New York. Co-owners Kelsey Stark and Michelle Hulse were wonderful to work with. Their business is a social media marketing agency on the East End of Long Island that offers a wide range of promotional services to local companies. I had

You Got to Start Somewhere

By Aaron Viltres When I transferred to Stony Brook, I came in with plenty of work experience, but I stressed and struggled over landing an internship related to my major. That quickly changed when I attended the journalism career fair in Fall 2019. This being my first career fair within the major, I didn’t know

Learning to breathe, and other tricks of radio reporting

By Brianne Ledda I probably don’t need to say this, but Spring 2020 was an unusual semester.  I don’t believe I can describe the tension at Stony Brook University in early March, the week before spring break, as the world became aware of the onrushing COVID-19 pandemic. I have never seen anything like it, and

Changing Horses in Midstream

By Matt Cataruzolo My JRN 488 experience was probably a little different than most. The COVID-19 pandemic caused World Wide Sports Radio Network, the internet radio network I was co-hosting/interning for, to go on an indefinite hiatus. I, like many others affected by the pandemic, felt scared, nervous, and out of options.  As I analyzed

Mistakes won’t break you

By Maria Cestero  This semester/year, I decided to intern at Greater Moriches, a local online publication based in Shirley, Mastic, Mastic Beach, Eastport, Center Moriches and Moriches. Though not all the articles I wrote were published, it was truly a great learning experience on how to work under pressure and on meeting new people. My

A tale of day and night

By Donovan Alexis I am writing this on the last day of my internship, and honestly, this experience is something I will never forget. As clichéd as it sounds, I’m dead serious. How could I ever forget my first full internship, at WSHU radio, during the year of COVID-19 pandemic?  The last 16 weeks felt

By Ken Fermin With no sports games to cover due to the unprecedented NCAA Spring season cancellation, I was put in a precarious position; finish the internship early or keep writing.

By Frank Gargano Interning at WSHU, especially during the coronavirus epidemic (which I hope you reading this don’t ever have to go through), was challenging but extremely rewarding.  My experience with audio journalism prior to WSHU was basic to semi-intermediate.

Writing for a new medium

By Paige Clarke Working as an intern at WSHU Public Radio was a highly valuable experience and one that I will carry with me as I close my chapter at Stony Brook University and pursue my career path. For 15 weeks, I produced various scripts that covered both local and national news and recorded them

Getting into politics with a pro for a guide

By Kimberly Brown Before interning for Michael D’Antonio, I had recently become interested in politics. I had always stayed away from politics, but since the impeachment hearings began I became infatuated.  When Professor Selvin emailed us about Michael’s internship, I knew I had to give it a shot. I thought it could be very interesting

An internship with Michael D’Antonio

By Maya Brown  I remember primarily hearing the announcement of a possible internship with Michael D’Antonio, an American author, journalist and CNN commentator, in my JRN 301 class during the Fall 2019 semester. My professor, Barbara Selvin, the director of internships and careers at the School of Journalism, said to let her know if we

A deep dive into Washington politics

By Mike Gaisser  In December, I started an internship with Michael D’Antonio, along with four other Stony Brook students. D’Antonio is a political commentator who has authored over a dozen books, including “Never Enough,” a 2015 biography of Donald Trump, and “A Consequential President,” a 2017 book on the presidency of Barack Obama. I, along

Reporting on a beat foreign to me

By Nicholas McEntyre  When I went to the School of Journalism’s 2019 fall semester internship fair, I was not expecting to gain an internship, let alone be offered one on the spot. But when Professor Selvin pointed me over to Vinny Messana, the president and founder of Axcess Sports, I decided to give it a

An important way to try out new things

By Sherin Samuel  When I got the internship to work with Michael D’Antonio, I was nervous at first as I did not know a lot about politicians. But after completing my internship, I realized that I’d had nothing to be worried about.  The internship ran from the beginning of winter break until the middle of

Believe At Your Own Risk: A New Attack on Privacy

When was the last time you read a company’s privacy policy before checking the “I agree” box and signing up for its online service?

You wouldn’t be the first to skip right past it, or the last. Only 13 percent of people say they always read the terms of service before agreeing to them, according to an Axios-SurveyMonkey poll. But blindly agreeing to social media’s policies may have you forfeiting more than your right for a company to sell your data. It may mean your online content could legally be turned into deepfake pornography and sold.

Taking Fashion Out Of The Fast Lane

Fast fashion, cheap quickly made clothing to satisfy trends, is a popular segment of the worldwide fashion industry. Fast fashion lets consumers follow the latest trends inexpensively, in as little as just weeks after new designs hit the runways in Paris, New York and Milan. But the hidden costs, in water pollution, labor abuses, oceanic pollution, crowded landfills and intellectual property theft have spurred a reaction in the fashion industry, a movement advocates are calling “slow fashion.”

A stepping stone on the career path

By Dalvin Aboagye After taking JRN 393 with Professor Terry Sheridan last spring, I made a promise to myself to explore radio and audio journalism in a deeper capacity than I had before. Something about radio has an appeal that shares similarities with both video broadcast journalism and print journalism. I usually explain to people

A rambunctious newsroom that’s also rewarding

By Charles Scott This summer, I wrote for the Smithtown News. I spent six weeks building banks of information and contacts, awkwardly finding spots suitable for note-taking in busy press conferences and protests, and writing a mix of joyously reported stories, drawn-out research pieces and punched-up press releases. I took on almost a dozen stories,

By Felicia LaLomia Last December, when I wrote emails to about 20 different food and drink-focused publications asking for internships, I had no idea what would come of it.

The Importance of Local Journalism

By Gary Ghayrat When I started interning at The Southampton Press, the first thing I noticed was the size of the place. Twenty or so people worked inside a one-story building. And just a 10-minute drive away was the so-called “Billionaire’s Lane” of the Hamptons, with lavish properties that are easily double, even triple, the

New skills and new insights

By Margaret Osborne The WSHU internship was a great introduction to the world of radio. I had always thought I would end up in print journalism, reporting about science and the environment, and hadn’t considered radio as a career. This internship showed me that I might want to explore audio journalism more deeply. I found

The Intern Diaries: Here’s What You Need to Know About Working at a Fashion & Beauty Site

By Jasmin Suknanan  The first thing that comes to mind when people hear “fashion and beauty intern” is probably the notion of fetching coffee for the editor because, if there’s anything we’ve learned from “The Devil Wears Prada,” it’s how Miranda Priestly takes her coffee. While I can’t speak for the experiences of every single

My Source Didn’t Get Back to me so I Got a Tattoo

Radio experience is definitely a plus

A Metro Memoir

Keep It Simple, Stupid

By Alicia Bermudez I vividly remember walking into WSHU’s Long Island News Bureau on that first Tuesday afternoon.

Gaining confidence and a new perspective

By Brittany Bernstein If you had told me a few years ago that I would be interning at a business newspaper, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. First, because I swore I was going to be a doctor, but also, because what do I know about business? At the end of my Long Island Business

I wish I’d known the time would fly

An internship taught me to believe in myself
