COMMUNICATION INTERNS |
Intern Rachel Mazza - Lock Haven Express,
Lock Haven, PA
 What
started out as just another high school
activity turned into a paid internship for a
Lock Haven University student.
Rachel Mazza, Freshman and dual major in
Communication Media and Criminal Justice,
began working with the Lock Haven Express
her senior year of high school as an editor
for the school paper. As graduation neared,
the editor of the Lock Haven Express asked
Mazza if she would be willing to work as an
intern during the summer.
Interning as a reporter and editor, Mazza
spent between 15 and 20 hours per week at
the Express, where she focused on writing
human interest and business features.
As an intern, Mazza had the opportunity to
work with newspaper layouts. Mazza’s
responsibilities included the Ross Library
layout and the layout for the Central
Mountain Middle school’s Junior Journal, but
she also got to work on the layout for the
Express as well.
