Students, BU Today Needs You
Paid internships available, application deadline March 31
Students, if you’re an experienced writer and looking for a paid internship, BU Today would like to hear from you.
We have openings for general assignment writing interns for the summer and fall semesters. Candidates should have strong writing skills, previous journalism experience (published clips are required), and be freshmen, sophomores, or juniors. For summer we have both part-time (15 hours) and full-time (35 hours) positions. For fall, we’re looking for a 10-to-12-hour-a-week commitment.
You should have a portfolio of published stories, and be prepared to make a commitment to remain through the 2022-2023 school year. Responsibilities include pitching and writing stories about student life, as well as writing our weekly Weekender series and updating our Neighborhood series. Additional tasks include helping staff writers with background research, transcribing audio, closed-captioning videos, and assisting with breaking news stories
The deadline for applying for the internships is March 31.
To apply for the general assignment writing internship, send your résumé, writing clips from published pieces, and references to Amy Laskowski at amlaskow@bu.edu.
