2015 INTERN GUIDE THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS Welcome Dear intern class of 2015, We

2015 INTERN GUIDE THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS Welcome Dear intern class of 2015, Welcome to the best newspaper internship program in the country. At The Dallas Morning News, we may call you interns, but we treat you like full-time staff members from your first day here. Over the next few months, you will play key roles in our coverage of the major stories this summer. In doing so, you will put in some long hours. But we also want you to have fun during your stay here in Big D. So we’ve put together this guide to eating, drinking and enjoying all that this great slice of Texas has to offer. We’ve also provided you with names and photos of some of the big bosses because we wouldn’t want you to embarrass yourself in front of anyone you should be trying to impress. In addition, we’ve included photos and bios of former DMN interns who were later hired, as well as a few “friendly faces” from around the building. As with any big city newspaper, things here in our newsroom can get a little hectic at times. But we love having you here and we’re happy to help you with anything you need. So don’t hesitate to seek us out. And don’t forget to work hard, play hard and eat plenty of barbecue and queso. 1. WORK HARD, BUT DON’T KILL YOURSELF. You only have a few weeks to get clips and make an impression, so take advantage of it. Come in early and stay late when you need to. Work that mundane assignment or weekend shift with a smile. But don’t work so hard that you don’t enjoy your time here. You also only have a few weeks to enjoy the city and get to know your coworkers. Having fun outside of work means you’ll be more productive when you are in the office and you’ll enjoy yourself more. 2. ASK FOR HELP. The newsroom is a goldmine of expertise. Take advantage of it. Find the people in the newsroom that are willing to help interns and if you’re unsure, ask a friendly face and we’ll point you in the right direction. Many times, people are more than willing to help talk through a story, get you the right documents or find you a source -- you just have to ask. 3. ALWAYS HAVE YOUR CELL PHONE AND A CHARGER ON YOU WHEN YOU GO OUT TO AN ASSIGNMENT. Send updates and photos while out on breaking news, and be available in case your editor needs to reach you. “My phone died” is not a good excuse. 4. DON’T LET YOUR GAS TANK GET TO E. If you’re headed out on an assignment and are low on gas, take the time to stop and fill up before you leave. You never know how far you’ll need to go and whether they’ll be a gas station where you end up. Better to take the time now than be stranded in rural Texas on deadline. 5. KNOW THE BOSSES. Don’t make the mistake of meeting the editor or managing editor and asking, “So, what do you do here?” Do your research. We’ve even made it easier for you. Just flip to the next page in this guide. 6. DRESS FOR THE JOB YOU WANT, NOT THE JOB YOU HAVE. If you dress professionally, people will take you more seriously. So if you’re worried about sources thinking you’re too young, throw on a blazer or a tie. Oh, and girls, don’t wear flip flops. They’re unprofessional and LOUD so when we hear whacking coming from down the hall, we’ll know it’s you. 7. YOU AREN’T TOO GOOD FOR ANY ASSIGNMENT, NO MATTER HOW MUNDANE OR TRIVIAL. PERIOD. 8. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. If you are assigned a story that you think is mundane or trivial, get creative. For example, if you’re assigned a weather story, don’t just write a story saying it’s hot. Find the Texas heat lovers club and talk to them. Find the immigrant from Iraq who wears five layers of sweatshirts because Texas heat is nothing to them.The best way to make yourself stand out? Make something out of nothing. 9. MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN. Do you have a special interest in restaurant reviewing? Or maybe you think Texas politics are seriously fascinating? Maybe you have a great personality and can do an on-camera interview with no problems. Let people know. It might make you more valuable if you have something you’re interested in or really good at. And, you might get more assignments that involve those special skills/interests. 10. BUT MAYBE NOT TOO WELL-KNOWN ON FACEBOOK. OK, you are Millennials. You hear this all the time. Be careful what you post on Facebook. Your colleagues are going to friend you. You might friend them. That’s cool. But, maybe delete that photo of you scantily clad and showing body or drink in your hand if you’re under 21. It’s unfair, but totally human for people around the newsroom to judge you based on those photos. Also, don’t complain or say anything about your bosses on social media. Just think before you post anything about work.

Restaurants & Bars Listed by neighborhood DEEP ELLUM CANE ROSSO 2612 Commerce Street Dallas, TX 75226 Staff says: Neapolitan pizza and great wine. Fun fact, Cane Rosso translates to red dog, apparently named after the founders’ hound, Zoli. True story. BAKER'S RIBS Monday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. 2724 Commerce St., Dallas; 214-748-5433; see website for other locations. www.bakersribs.com. GuideLIVE says: Barbecue can be quite the variable art, and I've had luscious, smoky brisket and killer ribs at Baker's in the past, but they were less impressive on my most recent visit to the Deep Ellum location.
