There are troubles at the San Antonio Express-News, but they are still hiring interns. Deadline correction: Send them your stuff by Nov. 15, not the first as I reported below (that entry is now fixed). Send resume, cover letter, clips (5 to 15) and two letters of reference, mail or email. Pay is $13 per hour, for 10 to 13 weeks in the summer. Selections will be made in early January.
In other news, Joe Grimm says the internship market is tight and suggests: "Aim for the jobs that will be in high demand in the next 10 years: new media, copy editing and business reporting." An interesting observation in itself.
He also advises students to continue applying to multiple internships until somebody calls them back with a solid offer — not "You're a finalist."
Putting together your application: Practical advice from a 2005 grad here. Solid advice from the big picture down to details such as photocopying your clips and including references' phone numbers. Another tidbit: Increase your chances at a great paid internship by taking an unpaid internship (the summer before, perhaps).
