Would there by Any Journalism Interships for High School Students?

Answer 1

I don't know about formal, for credit internships, but I'm sure you can get some experience in the field.  If you're looking for school credit, talk to whoever is in charge of internship credit at your school (or the guidance office).  

The easiest way to get a newspaper internship is to walk into a local paper, make an appointment with an editor, and ask for an internship (bring writing samples).  In my experience (3 years as a sports writer), newspapers are usually desperate for freelancers and will work with anyone who has the skill.  You never know, you might wind up getting paid eventually as well (standard freelance cash is about 50 bucks per story).

Good luck.
