Albany County District Attorney's Press Office

Press Office Intern

June - August 2019 • Albany, NY

What I liked

This internship starts with training to ensure that you will do well as an intern. Questions and concerns are always addressed in a respectable manner, which all in all provides a very comfortable atmosphere to work in. If you're looking to gain experience in the Criminal Justice, Law, Communications or Journalism field, this internship will be great! You will be around other interns and professionals who will not hesitate to help, if needed. This internship was very valuable to me because I was able to advance my writing skills and understand what happens behind a 'news article'. It is a very easy-going internship with interesting tasks to keep you well-grounded throughout.

What I wish was different

It is an unpaid internship, therefore I wish there was a small stipend involved. However, I accepted the offer knowing it was unpaid, and it was worth it for the experience and networking gained.

Advice

You will need to commute to get to the job. If you drive a car, you will have to park far for free parking, and pay for parking nearby. Taking public transportation is more reliable, in a sense.
