Sat. Jan. 31 Game Highlights

-- Interns Needed

Due to travel, there will be no game highlights for tonight. Please accept our apologies.

As usual, box scores will appear on the scoreboard page.

While we are on the subject of game highlights, we wish to announce that we are looking for one or more interns to handle part of this job for next season -- and possibly other writing assignments as well. While we are calling this an 'internship', it is actually a paid internship. The reason is simple. We do not approve of companies -- most with resources we can't even imagine  -- asking interns to work for free. So we won't do it. However, the pay will be on the nominal side. However, there will be chances for an increase.

Our search will center on prep, high school, or college students who are interested in sports journalism as a possible career. Someone recently out of college can also apply. Strong writing skills, which includes spelling and grammar, are requirements. Primary qualities we are looking for center around reliability, a desire to get the facts right, and an understanding of how news stories are constructed -- i.e., who, what, when, where, and (sometimes) why. Much of this will be learned by doing. The ability to write a great lede, from which the rest of any news story flows, takes a lot of practice. Writing game highlights is, essentially, writing a lede.

We don't care if applicants are male or female, or wish to work on the boys side of USHR, or the girls. We would like to at least try one or two applicants out between now and the end of the season.

Please send a writing example, be it journalism or any form of expository writing that you think represents your best work. Ideally, we would like to see submissions consist of one sports piece and one piece of expository writing on another subject. We're not picky, though. We're looking for promise. If you are proud of what you have, just send it along. And tell us a little something about yourself.

Please send to cwarner "at" ushr.com

Thank you.
