John Curley Center for Sports Journalism

Little League World Series

A combination of internship and a professional partnership with The Associated Press allows students to cover and/or support the Little League World Series every year. Some internships last throughout the summer while others are specific to the tournament itself in mid- to late August.

Likewise, media partnerships, with students creating content for the Associated Press, generally focus on the tournament itself. The students' work — stories, photos and vidoes — gets utilized by AP members all over the world. In addition, Penn State and Bellisario College student media organizations ("Centre County Report," CommMedia, The Daily Collegian and more) often cover the international event that happens about an hour or so from campus.

Support for the students in all of these endeavors comes from the John Curley Center for Sports Journalism and the Office of Internships and Career Services in the Bellisario College.
