About the Social Media Reporter Internship
This unpaid Internship (£10 expenses per day) is designed for creative and media students starting in their writing careers who would like the opportunity to gain real-life experience in storytelling and social media.
You will work as part of our editorial team, focusing on researching and creating evergreen articles with a focus on lifestyle content. About a third of your time will be spent on research, a third on social media posting, and a third on asset creation.
As a social enterprise, we prioritise personal and professional development in the workplace, and the intern will benefit from our supportive office culture and one-on-one mentoring.
You will be assisting the Deputy Editor and learning about:
- Analysing trends, allies and influencers on social media
- Researching lifestyle and cultural heritage content for Tower Hamlets
- Writing lifestyle content for our What’s On and Out & About content
- Sharing posts on social media, learning best practices for each platform
- Processing and optimising images for the website using Photoshop
- Video editing and asset making (we use Adobe Express but they’re all quite similar)

Pay: £10 per day
Days: four days per week
Times: 9 am to 5.30 pm

FAQs
Is the Short Internship paid?
The Short Internship is technically unpaid, but you will receive £10 per day to cover travel expenses. We only have the budget to pay for one paid internship (see our Long Internship) – we created this shorter internship to meet the demand from students looking to build up work experience.
Do you offer longer internships?
Longer internships of four months are also available to candidates who have completed journalism training at either a BA, MA or NCJT level. The longer internships offer pay of £50 per day.
Do you offer two-week academic placements for MAs and phd students?
No. We are unable to offer placement internships under four weeks in duration.
What are you looking for?
- An interest in digital media and a mind for data
- A passion for social enterprises and social justice
- Excellent English writing skills with a good grasp of grammar and syntax

Are you office-based?
