Emotional Intelligence at Work: Three Internship Stories • Michael L. Maynard, Temple • The paper discusses the thesis of emotional intelligence (EI), applying its principles to the internship work site. Three internship stories are presented, problem situations are described and EI solutions are offered. It is proposed that the internship advisor’s knowledge of EI can lead toward successful internship outcomes. Appendix includes brief EI self-quiz, characteristics of persons with high/low EI, and list of EI web sites.
Mid-Career Interning: Faculty Going From Classroom to Newsroom • Dana Rosengard, North Carolina-Chapel Hill • Every year, thousands of college students head to television newsrooms to work as interns to learn from the professionals. Back on campus, they sit in classes and listen to professors who, many times, have not been in a television newsroom themselves for years and years. This research looks at faculty internships. In this pilot-study, the television news directors in North Carolina were surveyed to learn if they would welcome such interns into their newsroom, what they would allow them to do, how they see the college or university faculty intern as both a challenge and a risk.
