New Media Internships
New media is transforming the news business. Traditional media firms such as newspapers, radio stations and television stations are becoming web-based news provi
ders, delivering print, video and audio online.
A journalist’s responsibilities are changing as well. Many journalism jobs require writing an article, capturing photos and video, and promoting the story through multiple channels, such as social networks.
IHS sponsors paid internships with media outlets charging into this new landscape. These organizations seek individuals ready to diversify their skill set to report and deliver the news using the latest methods.
"The IHS journalism program was an invaluable experience because it gave me a venue to pursue and refine my two passions: journalism and the advancement of liberty." A. Carey interned at the Daily Caller
