Ashley is interning this summer with a group of suburban papers serving in the northeast corner of her hometown of Minneapolis. Here's her report:"The internship is going pretty well. It's really laid back. I'm doing a little bit of everything. I have written a few stories, I have designed a few pages and I have taken and edited some pictures. I've started a portfolio of everything that I've written, and I'll grab some of my favorite designs at the end of the summer. They use Quark, so it was an adjustment at the beginning.
"Working with a color paper is more fun than black and white. I may be biased, but I think that stylistically, the Kaimin is a little better than these papers. Oh yeah, so it's less confusing, I work at the Sun and Press papers, which publishes 44 community papers each week. I am writing and designing for the Osseo-Maple Grove Press, Crow River News and Dayton-Champlin Press. It's nice learning about the western metro because I am from the eastern metro. It is a long drive in traffic though."
