Ave Wofford, a junior at Salem High School, has been selected to fill the Vickery Internship at The Salem News.
The paid internship includes working at the newspaper learning basics of journalism, according to publisher Donald Dodd.
The internship was started in honor of the Vickery family, longtime owners of the newspaper.
“The Vickery intern program has been great for the newspaper,” Dodd said. “Hopefully, it has also proven valuable for the interns, who get to experience journalism first-hand instead of just from a book. There is no better way to learn than through experience.”
Wofford is the daughter of Rob and Autumn Wofford and granddaughter of Bob and Ann Wofford.
At SHS, she is part of the tennis team, Student Council, Culture Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and National Honors Society.
Her other interests include working out at the gym, playing pickleball, being an involved member of First Baptist Church, working with younger kids, and listening to 90’s music.
Previous Vickery interns include Heather Schaller, Dina Williams, Jonathan Bertz, Drew Carmier, Lindsey Gott, Rachel Greene, Janeen Hankinson, Katie Hunt, Seth Gott, Rebecca Soard, Liz Snyder, Rachelle Hayes, Emily Moser, Tucker Conley, Alexis Crocker, Emily Brown, Carson Mowery, Cory Gamblin, Anita Conway, Malia Terrill, Brecklyn Holtz, Denise Stoner, Olivia Wisdom, and Kinsey Owen.
Duties of the intern include writing and editing news stories, a weekly school column, compiling the calendar section of the newspaper, photography, and some website work.

John Hewkin has been a sports fan since he was a kid. He’s played, coached and been a fan of sports. I was a sports writer for 15 years before moving back to Missouri, but to this day you will still find me in my man cave a lot of nights and weekends watching something that requires a ball.
