The Quad-Cities is an ideal setting for communications internships in multimedia journalism and mass communication (MJMC). There are two daily newspapers, four TV network affiliates and a PBS station.
In this medium-sized media market, students are given opportunities they would not get in a larger market. Students have covered presidential visits, hosted local TV programs, and written front-page news stories.
The Quad Cities' proximity to Chicago also allows for big-city internships. Most recently, students have covered the Stanley Cup for WGN Radio, written blogs for the Arena Football League and coordinated celebrity visits for The Silverman Group.
Faculty mentors help students find internships. In recent years, all MJMC majors completed an internship.
