Statehouse News Bureau Fellowship
The Statehouse News Bureau Fellowship is a one-semester internship opportunity for student journalists to report on the state government from Columbus, Ohio. Fellows’ reporting may be published by any news organization, inside or outside Ohio, provided reports include a credit line that includes the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism’s name. Undergraduates from other colleges and universities if selected for the program may also register for the course as visiting Ohio University students. The course’s instructor is Thomas Suddes, Ph.D., an adjunct assistant professor who has more than 30 years of experience reporting or commenting on Ohio’s government, budget and politics.
For information about applying for the fellowship, contact Dr. Tom Suddes.

John Kasich. But new Gov. Mike DeWine has promised to sign the bill, which would ban abortions, except to save the life of the woman, once a fetal heartbeat is detected.
