-## One-to-one meetings
+## One-on-one meetings
-Arrange to meet with me two times: at the beginning to agree on a plan and after turning in the final report. This should ideally occur during my office hours, or by appointment. These meetings are an opportunity to discuss the ideas and motivations surrounding the internship, along with any challenges you face on the job. A meeting around the midterm assignment is also recommended.

A meeting around the midterm assignment is optional if that would be helpful.
 Be sure to turn assignments in at least 48 hours before we meet so I have time to review them.
-## Midterm: Reading report
+## Journal
+Each week during your internship, add an entry to a journal about the experience. At minimum, each entry should consist of two paragraphs:
+  * What happened in the internship this week?
+  * What reflections do you have on it, whether in terms of work experience or concepts you are reading about?
+## Midterm: Book review
 At the beginning, we will agree on two books that you will read during the internship that connect the experience to media studies scholarship. Books should be rigorous and critical, generally one academic-press book and one high-quality trade work of journalism or polemic.
-Within one week of the midterm, you will turn in an approximately 1,300-word report on the first book, highlighting key insights and concerns, and reflecting on its relevance to the internship experience. Be sure to demonstrate in-depth engagement with the book's ideas.
+Within one week of the midterm, you will turn in an approximately 1,300-word review of the first book, highlighting key insights and concerns, and reflecting on its relevance to the internship experience. How does the book resonate (or not) with your experience so far? Does anything you have experienced contradict the claims of the book? Be sure to demonstrate in-depth engagement with both the book's ideas and specific aspects of your experience.
