If the topic is of interest to people who love the environment, chances are we write about it — and you can, too.We want reporters, photographers and videographers with the right combination of talent, interest and commitment.

What will I do?
MNN local bloggers, photographers and videographers are vital to our operation. They work (virtually) alongside the MNN team as they write stories, share local environmental news and insights and produce YouTube clips or photo galleries. In addition, each correspondent has his own page on MNN, allowing him (or her) to discuss the most interesting environmental stories of the day.
This experience can be a good fit for students or professionals in journalism, environmental studies or architecture, and it can also work for writers who want a resume-building experience that might lead to a job in new or old media.
The particulars
• We accept applications for MNN State Reports on a rolling basis.
• The program's focus is local and is run from your campus or hometown. Correspondents are encouraged to come up with their own topics to cover, and some assignments will be made.
• Each participant is part of a state channel at Mother Nature Network, where his or her resume-building work can be followed by millions of readers who are interested in the environment.
• The program is unpaid, but we periodically reward strong contributors.
Just submit a resume and cover letter to local@mnn.com and specify your interests.

Dear MNN,
I applied for this internship a few months ago but have not heard back. Is there a specific time that I will hear back from you?
Thanks!
Hello, I will be attending an out of state school come the Fall, and therefore I was wondering if there were any internships purely offered during the Summer, or if I could shift the gears of my internship onto my campus during the school year.
In some cases, we do allow students to start reporting from one state & then move to another once they start/stop college. Write us at contact@mnn.com and we can get into the specifics with you.
I'm going to a technical college. I want to help. Is it too late to apply?!
If you're a green-friendly person...and can write/video, then we'd love for you to apply.
I'm a senior college student currently working as a field technician in wetlands research (through the EPA in a roundabout way), a few prairie chicken surveys for windfarm placement for energy companies, etc. I'm also a Wildlife Ecology major....I've noticed that there seems to be more preservation than conservation on the site, just wondering if I'd fit. Doesn't seem like there are many hunters/anglers on the site. What are MNN's stances on hunting, fishing, etc?
Having an intern who had worked in wetlands research would be ideal for us. And we're equally interested in preservation as well as conservation (and all aspects of the environment). Just sent your resume & cover letter to contact@mnn.com to be considered.
Hey, I was wondering about if there is any age or grade specified. If AA in Ca reads this, please email me back. I am very intrested.
We're happy to receive applications from all and are willing to consider out-of-the-norm circumstances if your qualifications are good (i.e. maybe you're out of school for several quarters). Just send your clips & cover letter to contact@mnn.com. A note of advice, though: Be sure to spell words correctly when you send us your application. Can't help but notice that even in these casual notes....your words are your currency. :)
