Internship Grants
The California Press Foundation awards grants to select students who demonstrate an exceptional interest in pursuing careers in the media business in California. Our internship grant program helps develop mentorships and networking opportunities for students who are interested in a career in journalism.
The students must seek and secure an internship on their own at a California news company. Internships, which can occur in spring or summer, must be full-time and last at least six weeks.
Equipment Grants
The California Press Foundation has issued equipment grants to more than 140 campus news programs since 2000. Contributions from individual Cal Press members and supporters provide the grants.

Journalism Education Collaborative
JOUR•Ed Collaborative, an interactive directory developed by Cal Press in partnership with the California State University, Northridge Journalism Department, serves as a modern interface between journalism education and the industry.
By offering a comprehensive and accessible repository of resources, the JOUR•Ed database streamlines the search for relevant programs, publications, and research to expand opportunities for journalism educators, professionals, and students alike. It’s free for educators and easy to use.
An additional feature available at no cost to educators is a Resource Library, which features full-semester instructional materials across four foundational courses:
- News Writing
- Introduction to Mass Media
- News Literacy
- Race & Gender in the Media
Designed to support journalism educators at every level, these resources enrich learning and help strengthen the pipeline into the profession.
