While a student at the State University of New York (SUNY) at New Paltz, Craig McGuire accepted an internship at The Legislative Gazette, a newspaper based in Albany that provides in-depth coverage each week of the New York State Legislature, Executive Branch, and State Agencies.
According to a description on the publication’s site:
“A semester internship at The Legislative Gazette prepares you to work for a daily newspaper or in other meaningful communication positions straight from college. How? You’ll be reporting on the bustling, influential political arena of the third largest state’s capital, in Albany, New York. You’ll attend press conferences and ask the governor of New York questions. You’ll work alongside reporters from the New York Times and NBC. You’ll have phone calls returned from powerful policymakers. And your reporting will provide facts that will help these policymakers shape legislation. Consequently, your resume and portfolio of news clips will stand out in a crowd of job applicants. You can expect to gain extensive newsgathering and news writing experience. After all, you and your fellow interns are The Gazette’s staff reporters. You’ll probe for answers at press briefings, and report on the machinations of state Senate & Assembly Committees and state regulatory agencies. You’ll conduct interviews, unearth leads, attend relevant meetings, and write the stories. From tax laws to environmental issues, from health policies to farm supports, you will have the opportunity to report on the prevailing, often controversial, issues that face large states. You will witness government in action.”
