Lauren Rabaino is the first CICM Intern. Congrats to Lauren.

And thanks to all the applicants. This was a tough decision, as we had good applicants. I wish I could hire them all. Honestly. Also, 245 people voted in the poll. I spent the past week agonizing over the decision and didn’t even look at the poll results until today.

Lauren will be showing up soon on the blog and on Twitter and elsewhere rep’ing the CICM. We’re excited to have her.

We hope to have this program again in coming semesters, so I encourage all the others to keep an eye out for the future.

Alright, as I promised, you the faithful readers of the ICM weblog get to have some input into the intern application process. Here is a list of the intern applicants with links to their application essays. You get a vote, but you don’t get to see the vote (because I’m trying to be cognizant of the applicants’ feelings) and the final decision still rests with the CICM leadership. So here goes – in no particular order:

•  Jessica Estepa
•  Eric Shellan
• Juana Summers
• Michael Rutschky
• Emily Kostic
• Jamie Klein
• Garrett Eagan
• Lauren Rabaino
• Joshua Edge
• Estelle Tran

Oh, that I could give an internship to them all! So help me out, people! I’ll announce the intern on Monday.

Thanks to those students who have submitted applications and essays to become the spring 2009 CICM intern. We will announce the intern applicants on Wednesday, with their essays available for readers, and a poll to let you help decide who will become the intern (although the final decision will be mine, along with Chris and Ralph). The winning applicant will be announced next Monday.

Hey folks, there’s less than 24 hours left to apply for the CICM internship. We’ve already received several applications, and you too could be on that list! Deadline is midnight Pacific time tonight! Details:

The pitch: How would you like to learn new media skills while having a positive impact on the college media environment? Join us for a semester of new media opportunity as the first intern for the Center for Innovation in College Media for Spring 2009.

What you’ll do: Help maintain the Innovation in College Media weblog by producing relevant content that highlights what college media are doing in a changing media environment. The possibilities for editorial production are limited only by your imagination and energy. Some of the possibilities:

• Podcast interviews with media movers and shakers.
• Reviews of college media online initiatives.
• Maps and databases of college media online sites.
• Live video streams of conferences and/or interviews.
• Round-ups of relevant new media writing.
• And more.

Skills: Social media savvy (Twitter, friendfeed, etc.), video and audio (soundslides, mogulus or ustream), blogging (WordPress), college journalism (worked as a college journalist, familiar with college media environment).

Location: Wherever you are. I operate from Charleston, IL, Chris Carroll operates from Nashville, TN, but you can operate from anywhere you have a computer and Internet access.

Start/End Dates: Start date is toward the end of january. end date is end of April.

Hours: As far as hours, it’s really open-ended. You can do some awesome work with minimal hours, or a lot of hours and a minimum of ROI (return on investment). Seriously, it’s all up to you. My goal is for you to succeed.

Pay: We don’t have a lot of money, but we can offer a $500 stipend and a heckuva recommendation letter from yours truly when you’ve finished the race. We’ll make a badge available as well that you can post on your blog or web site.

About the site: ICM is part of the non-profit Center for Innovation in College Media, and is read by numerous college journalists, advisers, and industry folks.

How to apply: Send a copy of your resume and a 250-word essay (or post on your weblog, even better) explaining what ideas you have for the site to me at scmurley@gmail.com. Be forewarned – I will be posting a poll for readers to vote on who is the best potential intern (results will be viewable only by me) with the winner posted here in the future.

Deadline for applications: Jan. 18, 2009
