WUSF News is looking for interns for the fall

0

WUSF Public Media is now accepting applications for Information Internships for the Fall 2022 semester.

All positions will be paid, including internships focused on radio and digital news, as well as on our social media platforms.

Interns must be currently enrolled in the college as undergraduate or graduate students.

They will work closely with our team of seasoned writers and journalists to learn how to report, write and produce stories for radio and online platforms. It’s a place where students are treated like professional journalists from the start, and are assigned stories that matter to millions of Tampa Bay area residents.

This is also where they will discover how public media tries to serve their audience differently than commercial news outlets. With elections taking place in November, students interested in political news coverage should consider applying.

The application deadline is by midnight, June 29 for the following:

WUSF Rush Family Radio News Stage – (Two days a week) This internship is where a student will learn to research, write, produce and report for WUSF Radio and WUSFNews.org. In addition to daily news assignments, the Radio News Intern will produce longer, in-depth articles. Students from ANY university are welcome to apply for this position. This internship is funded by the WUSF Rush Family Fund.

WUSF News Stage on Social Media – (One to two days a week, including Fridays) The WUSF News Social Media Intern will work closely with the WUSF Digital Editor, Intern Coordinator and Multimedia Journalist writing and producing written and visual content for the station’s website and social media platforms. The intern will learn what it takes to successfully leverage our content on our social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) while helping to design strategies to expand our reach in the social media universe. Students from ANY university are welcome to apply for this position. This internship is funded by the Stephen Noble Internship Fund.

WUSF/USF Zimmerman Digital News Internship – (One day per week) The WUSF/USF Zimmerman Digital News Intern will research assignments, conduct interviews, write and produce daily digital stories and audio components.
