We here at SacramentoPress.com are thrilled to announce the first group of new interns, joining us as fresh and eager as the new year. They came to us through word of mouth, and through their growing passion for journalism. They come to us from a variety of backgrounds, and with very particular interests that will serve them, and SacramentoPress.com and its readers, very well.

Pictured from left to right, they are:

Mark Forsyth, who is currently a student at Sac State, currently earning his Masters Degree in English.

Susan Arroyo, who is a native of Antelope in Sacramento's north area, went to the Art Institute for Fashion Journalism but dropped out to pursue journalism at Sacramento City College, where she is currently studying.

Jonathan Mendick, a UC Irvine graduate in Literary Journalism, reviews CDs for an online magazine.

And Raoul Kleven lives in Downtown Sacramento, and has a ravenous mind and a taste for good journalism about issues international and local alike.

All will work with our delightful new journalism support manager (and frequent contributor AND former intern) Colleen Belcher. She can be reached at journalism@sacramentopress.com.

We look forward to having them around, and seeing what they contribute to SacramentoPress.com!

Welcome to the four new Interns. You are the next-generation of reporters and journalists. Old guys like me have a lifetime of reading the regular newspaper (=in printed format and delivered each morning to my driveway at my home in Fair Oaks). But (like it or not) we are entering into the Brave New World of e-journalism and news reporting. Some of it is troubling (=how will journalists earn a decent income?), and some of it is splendid (= accurate reporting on local news). We older-type readers of printed newspapers are somewhat confounded as we presciently look forward. We solicit the views of the new Journalism Interns about which fork in the road ahead would be optimum. What is our best strategy? How can older readers assist the next generation of new Journalists (in their 20s)? Remember, we traditional readers do not have the advantage in taking an MA degree in journalism at UC Davis or SacState. So we lack the insights from your professors of Journalism. Maybe the interns can serve as a bridge to convey information from the journalism professors to traditional readers of print newspapers. Maybe we traditional readers need a 2009-edition of "Cliff's Notes" in modern e-journalism..... a brief 40-page pamphlet that we could read..... that informs us which way the wind is blowing.....in the realm of News Journalism.

For the record, I usually don't have such squinty eyes. The picture was taken during the split second that I happened to blink. Actually, I'm really excited about the SacPress. Go interns!

You kids have a great opportunity with a brilliant concept that I think is the next best thing in a better flow of information.
Enjoy!

Ben I want you to know Im being more careful now on my spelling. (my World Book dictionary planted firmly in my lap)
