Attention teen journalists: We’re looking for high school reporters, writers, photographers, designers and broadcasters to join our team for the 2012-13 school year!

We accept applications year-round but the deadline to be considered for the spring semester is December 2.

Not only is being a part of our team super amazing-time fun, we’ll also pay you for your work! Plus, you’ll get the one-of-a-kind experience of working with and learning from professional Chicago Tribune journalists. As part of the training, you’ll get to attend a one-week summer journalism camp at the Chicago Tribune and throughout the school year, you’ll get the chance to attend workshops to keep building your journalism skills.

Not interested in writing? Be a promoter instead! Fill out our spring 2013 VIP promoter form.
