Fairfax Media, New Zealand's largest media company, has established a Journalism Intern scheme to emphasise its commitment to editorial excellence.

Fairfax's operations include nine daily newspapers including The Dominion Post and The Press, two national Sunday papers, magazines, a magazine publishing business, various internet operations, and over 50 community newspapers throughout the country.

Fairfax has a strong focus on innovation and leadership, and the intern scheme is an extension of its commitment to fostering talented journalists. As part of our commitment, Fairfax has developed an intern scheme which will help participants undertake studies in journalism through practical and financial assistance.

The scheme offers participants:
the opportunity to study for one year at one of three approved institutions - The University of Canterbury (Christchurch), Aoraki Polytechnic (Timaru), Massey University (Wellington), and Waikato Institute of Technology (Waikato).
mentoring and training with qualified and experienced journalists;
work experience during course holidays at one of Fairfax's more than 70 different publications;
reimbursement of course fees on successful completion of their journalism course; and
the possibility of permanent employment with Fairfax at the conclusion of their studies.
HOW THE SCHEME WORKS

Participants in the scheme will be selected by Fairfax in conjunction with the approved institutions. The selection process will include interviews and testing of each proposed participant's journalism skills.

The decision about which institution the participant will be required to attend and which Fairfax publication the participant will be associated with will, to the extent possible, be decided in conjunction with each participant. However, Fairfax will make the final decision on such matters. Each course of study is for one year.

During the course holidays, participants will be employed by one of Fairfax's publications. During this time they will receive training from experienced journalists and have a mentor chosen for them who will offer support and guidance.

On the successful completion of their course, participants will be reimbursed for their course fees. In addition, Fairfax will seek to offer employment to participants in a Fairfax publication. Where possible the participant's preferences will be accommodated.

If Fairfax offers a participant employment, that participant will be bonded to Fairfax for two years and, if the participant decides to terminate his or her employment within the two year period, he or she may be required to refund all course fees paid by Fairfax as part of the scheme.
