Digital News Intern (Summer 2019)

Michigan Radio is looking for a digital media intern to help produce and improve the content available at michiganradio.org, and to help grow the station’s social media channels.

This paid internship starts in late May/early June, and runs through August 2019.

We're looking for candidates who want to dabble in a little bit of everything: You'll work on original reporting for the web (so must have a good eye for news), create engaging photo and video content and graphics for our social media channels (must be aware of social media trends), and will have opportunities to pitch ideas to help us expand our digital coverage. On top of it all, you'll work with a fun, growing team in a fast-paced environment.

Applicants should also have strong writing and communication skills and be self-motivated and dependable. Knowledge of multimedia software applications (i.e., Adobe Suite) and photography/videography experience is a plus (so is a sense of humor!).

Here’s what we can offer you: the opportunity to work with award-winning public radio reporters in a major market, an environment where no idea is too big, and the occasional free food and coffee.

If interested, please email a cover letter, resume, and at least two writing samples to Digital Director Jodi Westrick (jowest@umich.edu) and Digital Producer Emma Winowiecki (emmacwin@umich.edu). Including links to multimedia projects is encouraged. Be sure to include DIGITAL MEDIA INTERNSHIP in the subject line.

A 15-20 hour/week during normal business hours is requested. Please include times and dates available for work in your email.
