We are seeking smart, curious self-starters who are interested in a professional career in journalism. Internships are generally for 10 weeks, and the start date can vary according to applicants’ schedules.

While these are student positions with an opportunity to learn and continue preparation for a news career, we expect an understanding of basic news standards and ethics, and a skill set in being able to produce content. Previous experience reporting for a student or professional news publication is a plus.

We are looking for student journalists who can meet deadlines, be accurate and adhere to ethical standards.

  • Schedule could include weekend hours.
  • Interns learn how to cover local news, features and business – and more.
  • Each intern has an editor who oversees them, guides them and helps solve problems.
  • Interns can work in multimedia as well, creating content and crafting social promotion for digital platforms.

Qualifications Include

  • The ability to write quickly, accurately and well.
  • The ability to monitor and mine various sources for breaking news.
  • Solid news judgment.
  • An instinctive grasp of what will engage your audience.
  • A deep understanding of what drives interest on Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms.
