Interested in audio journalism? Are you passionate about digital storytelling? Want to hone your visual reporting skills working alongside an award-winning team of professionals? KUT News, KUTX, Texas Standard, and the Multimedia and Audio Production teams are looking for interns.
Our interns work closely with our teams to put together all aspects of our coverage. Interns write for the radio and online, research and schedule interviews, and use professional equipment to take photos or record and edit audio or video. Interns also attend pitch meetings, events, and work on special projects as assigned.
Most successful internships result in several online bylines and other clips. We also offer workshops on career-building skills.
Internships are open to current college students, recent college graduates, and those in the early stages of their journalism careers. Interns are paid $15 per hour. Fall and spring internships are 15 hours per week while summer internships are 30 hours per week. Internships last 10-12 weeks.
To apply, please fill out this form with some information about yourself. You’ll need to include a resume, a cover letter, and two references. Not sure where to start? Watch these reels:
