In honor of legendary journalist John Baer, the Pennsylvania Legislative Correspondents Association has renamed its summer journalism internship program.
It's now the John Baer Legislative Reporting Internship, where student journalists get to work for 12 weeks every summer in the Capitol alongside the professional reporting corps that covers it daily.
It's a paid internship, supported by donations and volunteerism.
You can support future interns in honor of John, who spent many years helping to fundraise for the program one former intern called "an experience you can brag about, and I certainly have."
Here is where you can donate:

NEWS FROM DGS (please don't shoot the messenger!):
The East Wing escalator project will be moving forward with building of the partition walls. Starting 7/9 the escalator will be out of service.
Quite the subdued unveiling for the new East Wing elevator this week. Maybe @PAGenServices is having regrets.
As @ChasThompson1 puts it, it’s a modern-day gold rush happening in Pa.

A source joked about the state budget process today: "Budgets are like falling in love. It happens slowly, then all at once."
It’s one of those days at the Capitol where it’s hard to find a place to park and even more challenging to make way through the crowd

I just spotted Kylie Kelce — host of the popular “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, wife of former Eagle’s center Jason Kelce, and PA native — exit @GovernorShapiro’s office in the state Capitol.
Perhaps for a podcast interview? 👀

There are a shocking number of incumbent PA Senators facing a potential primary this year.
Dems facing primary challengers: Art Haywood (SD-04), Anthony Williams (SD-08), Lisa Boscola (SD-18), Marty Flynn (SD-22), Wayne Fontana (SD-42).
GOPers facing primary challengers: Lisa Baker (SD-20), Pat Stefano (SD-32), Camera Bartolotta (SD-46), Christ Gebhard (SD-48).
That is 9 of the 25 incumbents (no retirements on the senate side this year in the Keystone State) facing a challenger this May as it stands.
