And what is just ridiculous?

You be the judge.

The Pulitzer Prize Winning Point Reyes Light newspaper in Marin, CA is looking for a summer sports writing intern. We are looking for a writer who can tell more than scores, but can tell the stories behind the scores. I find most sports coverage boring, but enjoy the writing of Frank Deford, NPR correspondent and Sports Illustrated writer. He is lyrical and literary and is able to transcend the genre of sports writing. The position is unpaid, full-time for four months. You will join an elite crew this summer; six graduates from Columbia Journalism School are coming out as reporters. I want emersion journalism, where you travel on baseball team busses, ride horses, kyak the ocean, and surf local breaks. Please email a cover letter resume, 20 photographs as jpegs, and five clips.
