Lois looked down at the summer intern applications on
her desk. As city editor, she had to choose one of three
applicants to work in the city room under her supervision.
The first two candidates looked good. They were second
year journalism majors with experience on their high school
and college newspapers. The third applicant was the one
she kept coming back to. He was a third year science
student with extensive newspaper experience. Like the
others, he had high school and college experience, but he
had also worked on his local newspaper. He actually had
several op ed pieces published in newspapers across the US
about his summer travels and his experience in the big
city. The articles showed insight and a sense of humour.
In addition, he had investigated and proven financial
corruption at Metropolis U's Student Council. Normally,
she would not have second thoughts about hiring him. But
this was different.
