Internships have become an integral part of many journalism and broadcasting curricula. More than 95 percent of journalism and broadcasting programs report that internships are a part of their curricula (Becker. 1990; Meeske. 1988b).

The programs offer students an opportunity to grow in the professional environment, while supplementing what has been learned in the classroom.
