what looks better on a resume - an internship or a correspondence position?

Maybe this is a dumb question - forgive me.

I'm currently finishing my second year of college, and I am a correspondent for the Tampa Tribune (paid per article/photo). I'm building up a good amount of clips, and getting paid.

I was offered a 20 hour/week, unpaid internship at a community paper. And my contract stipulates that I cannot hold both positions.

I was wondering which would be better for my career, since one is a MUCH more reputable paper, but one offers me actual newsroom experience.

My professor says stick with the Tribune, btw.

Thanks!
