During the program, Goldberg will: provide curriculum and classroom training for students to develop skills in interviewing, research and writing stories for publication; develop with each student a reporting plan that explores an artist or artistic endeavor in Northern New Mexico with a focus on cultural diversity, identity and social change, and oversee and edit stories for publication.

The program will consist of classroom training, field work for reporting with the student working independently in the field for at least one week; two weeks of writing and editing with the student working in consultation with the program’s mentor for planning and editing. Chosen applicants must be available weekly for in-person meetings.

Work is intended for publication in the Santa Fe Reporter and on www.nmjournalism.org.

Student interns will be paid $500 for the entire internship and receive a certificate of completion with publication of their pieces.
