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) but 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 three-and-a-half months are also available to candidates who have completed journalism training either to BA, MA or NCJT level. The longer internships offer pay of £50 per day.
Do you offer academic placements for MAs and phd students?
We accept two-week academic placements completed as part of an accredited journalism course. These placements are not paid and offer no expenses. Costs are expected to be covered by the university degree course arrangements.
We welcome master’s students for longer placements too, whose courses require that they undertake specific projects, with structured outputs for assessment during their time working in the organisation. These projects are co-designed with the students where the focus is on the students area of interest primarily, but also on the needs of the organisation at the time.
What are you looking for?
When you apply your cover letter should demonstrate the following:
- An interest in digital media and a mind for data
- An passion for social enterprises and social justice
- Excellent English writing skills with a good grasp of grammar and syntax
Are you office based?
Yes, there’s too much to learn in too short a time for this to work on a remote-basis. And our working week is only four days.
