SMPA PARTNERS WITH LOCAL NEWSPAPERS FOR SUMMER 2026 INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

SMPA is partnering with local newspapers in Tennessee, the Catskills and West Virginia to give you the one-of-a-kind opportunity to intern as a journalist immersed in local communities - fully funded!

Spend your summer interning at one of these papers:

  • Kingston Springs Gazette in Tennessee (founded by an SMPA alum!)
  • Overlook in the Catskills, New York (founded by SMPA National Council member Scott Widemeyer, whose generosity is providing these opportunities!)
  • Mountain State Spotlight in West Virginia

The papers and places are different, as are the roles. But in each, you will be expected to cover local news and help the papers succeed.

Local media are the lifeblood of communities and democracy -  you'll have the opportunity to gain critical experience in writing, working with subscribers, advertisers and more.

The application process is individualized to each organization, please find the requirements to each below:

  • Kingston Springs Gazette
  • Overlook
  • Mountain State Spotlight

Submit your application directly to the contact listed at the paper of your choice.
