An interns life for me pt.1

As I finish up my third week here in Connecticut, I realize that professional newsrooms are not that different than a "well run" college one. People still like to joke, have fun and shout obscenities.

I know my title is technically "intern," but the people here from day one have really accepted me as a co-worker (or they are really good at acting. My vote is for the first.)

They have me doing everything from writing stories for the local newspapers to the city magazine, designing ads, shooting photos and copy editing (don't laugh).

The latest endeavor, a launch into social networking, really makes me feel more confused about what part of journalism I want to find a career in, but at least I now know that whatever field I choose I will have enough knowledge in it to succeed.
