"I chose Metpro because everywhere I went looking for a job employers said I didn't have enough experience. Summer internships ... weren't enough."

--Jia-Rui Chong
L.A. Times reporter

Metpro is a unique diversity program designed to help beginning journalists launch careers in Tribune newsrooms.

We're seeking high-potential, highly motivated aspiring journalists with diverse backgrounds or life experiences. The program's main thrust is to provide participants -- recent college graduates or journalists with limited professional experience -- the training and support necessary to put them on a fast track to success.

Metpro is not an internship but a formal program customized to help trainees realize their goals. Each participant can expect:

• Formal mentoring.
• Frequent performance evaluations and coaching.
• A thorough grounding in journalism ethics and relevant laws pertaining to libel and privacy.
• An opportunity to cover communities, including cops, courts and city councils.
• A thorough understanding of public records and research tools.
• An opportunity to prepare stories for the Web.

Now you can apply directly to the Tribune newspaper of your choice. If you are curious, creative and motivated, if you want to watch history as it unfolds and have a strong desire to be a part of one of our newsrooms, then come join the Metpro graduates who have found success.
