Every year since 2019, Jefferson Public Radio has hosted a summer intern through the Charles Snowden Program for Excellence in Journalism. The University of Oregon program places recent and soon-to-be graduates from all Oregon colleges in newsrooms across the state.

The JPR newsroom received a series of awards in 2023 from the Radio Television Digital News Association, the Public Media Journalists Association and the Society of Professional Journalists. Listener support makes all of this high-quality, local journalism possible!

In Southern Oregon and Northern California, summer is the season for floating rivers, enjoying music at outdoor festivals, harvesting gardens, and taking jaunts to the coast. For JPR, it’s a season for tracking wildfire activity, covering local events and making progress on the many projects we have underway to improve our mountain-top transmitter sites before the snow flies.
