- Some summer jobs are just a way to earn money. But for 23
- college students who are willing to brave the heat of New York
- City, it's also a chance to learn firsthand how we produce our
- magazines. Eighteen of our interns have spent the summer at SPORTS
- ILLUSTRATED, PEOPLE and other publications. Here at TIME, five
- labor right alongside their professional counterparts in different
- departments. Last month, as a reporter-researcher in the Nation
- section, Stanford senior Frank Quaratiello interviewed a survivor
- of the United Airlines DC-10 crash in Sioux City, Iowa, and is
- writing the Milestones section for this issue. Karla Bruner, a
- University of Missouri at Columbia graduate, has researched stories
- ranging from Cuba and Argentina to Burma and Greece for our World
- section. As managing editor of the Harvard International Review,
- Mark Suzman has come in contact with public figures like Jacques
- Delors, president of the European Commission. Now Suzman is
- broadening his experience on our International editions, where he
- has worked on an article about Gorbachev's trip to West Germany.
-
- No stranger to deadlines, Alexander Sutton recalls having 30
- minutes to decide which of 700 pictures from Louis Farrakhan's
- controversial 1988 visit to Philadelphia to publish in the Daily
- Pennsylvanian. Working in TIME's picture department, Sutton has
- been combing through mountains of film each week to find the right
- images for such stories as a recent look at the plight of the
- world's refugees. In our New York bureau, David Muhlbaum of
- Middlebury College handles reporting on subjects as varied as the
- prospects for economic stability in Argentina and the consequences
- of posing for Playboy.
-
- What do our summer staffers make of the TIME experience? "TIME
- has such incredible resources," says Sutton. "Everything runs 24
- hours a day." Adds Bruner: "There's something new every week. You
- never know what's going to happen next."
