Due date: Monday February 26, 2024
The Pittsburgh Media Partnership seeks motivated student journalists for its Summer 2024 internship program.
PMP internships are intended to give students with a serious interest in a journalism career — particularly those who are underrepresented in the industry — an opportunity to learn on the job, improve their portfolio and leverage the experience so that they can break into the industry more easily after graduation.
Details regarding the program are available on Handshake, but students also can directly access the application by using this link: https://forms.gle/E7YjLgYjxTabaaVCA
Interns selected for the program will work in a local newsroom on day-to-day assignments with the editors of that organization. They will get access to additional fellowship, networking and learning opportunities. Last year, 11 interns were selected to participate in the program, and 10 Partnership outlets benefited from the interns’ contributions.
Candidates should be at least 18 and enrolled at a college-level institution. Recent graduates also are eligible to apply. All candidates must be able to live in the Pittsburgh area during the eight-week internship period, which begins in late May/early June and runs until late July/early August. Interns will earn $15 per hour for up to 30 hours a week.
