在一家专业媒体组织中担任报纸特别版的关键角色似乎是一项艰巨的任务，但对十大彩票游戏平台大二学生马洛里·格鲁本来说，这只是度过一月学期的一种方式。 The journalism major from Eckley, Colorado worked as an intern at the 黑斯廷斯论坛报, but unlike many interns who end up doing odd jobs and assignments as instructed by their work advisor, Gruben had nearly complete autonomy.
“There are staff members at the 论坛报 who I can go to if I have questions, but as far as compiling the information and working on content, I’m pretty much on my own,” said Gruben.
Specifically, Gruben helped with the Business Outlook edition of the 论坛报, which includes a comprehensive directory of local businesses, special stories featuring businesses celebrating an anniversary and other content contributed by 论坛报 staff writers.
Gruben’s primary tasks were ensuring the directory is current by updating a database using information from a questionnaire distributed by the 论坛报, and reaching out to new businesses or those who did not respond to the mailer. 她还采访了公司正在庆祝周年纪念的企业主，并就他们多年来的成功撰写了专题文章。
格鲁本说：“我联系了所有在黑斯廷斯经营了25年、40年、50年、60年、70年或75年的企业，75年后每五年联系一次。” “然后我写了一篇故事，包括他们的简短历史，他们所看到的行业变化和未来计划。 听到镇上的老企业的故事真的很有趣，许多企业的历史都很丰富多彩。”
According to Publisher of the 论坛报, Darran Fowler, the relationship between the 论坛报 and Hastings College is long standing.
福勒说：“这几年来，我们一直有一名来自学院的实习生，我们也经常有一名大学生在暑期工作。” “这是一个伟大的合作伙伴关系，对我们双方都很好。”
实践经验
虽然这是格鲁本第一次涉足专业新闻领域，但她在十大彩票游戏平台媒体公司（HC Media）的工作让她做好了充分的准备。
Starting out as a copy editor and contributor for the 学院的学生 newspaper, Mallory took on increasingly more important roles throughout her first year on campus, eventually becoming a member of the public affairs content team as the chief for the science and technology bureau. 2015年秋，她被任命为HC Media的董事总经理，负责监督所有媒体。 格鲁本大二一学期的时候，是近年来最年轻的董事总经理之一。
According to Gruben, her time working with HC Media has helped her hone the skills she used at the 论坛报.
“My first day at the 论坛报 I was a little nervous, and then snap, my instincts kicked in and I realized how prepared I really was,” said Gruben. “The 论坛报 operates at a much grander scale than we do at HC Media, but the basic skills still transfer over.”
关心的教员
除了从HC Media获得的经验外，Gruben还将她的成功归功于她的新闻课程和教授。
“My first class in journalism was newswriting with Eric Tucker, he was extremely nice and encouraged me to look into working with the 学院的学生, of which he was the advisor at the time,” Gruben said. “他总是非常积极，帮助我彻底编辑新闻报道，而不是过于挑剔。 他想帮助学生学习和提高，但又不想让他们失望，这对一个一年级的作家来说是很大的鼓励。”
格鲁本在高中时就注意到了十大彩票游戏平台，这主要是因为该学院媒体和新闻系的优势。 从那时起，她就知道自己想进入新闻行业，而HC Media似乎是一个在学生时代积累经验的好方法。
格鲁本说：“在黑斯廷斯大学学习新闻学最好的部分是能够早早获得实践经验。” “我在大二的时候能够在如此紧张的实习中取得成功，最大的原因之一是我在大一的时候通过慧聪传媒获得了大量的经验。 我想不出还有哪个地方能提供这么好的机会。”
