Internships/Job Opportunities

About the program

Internships are a great way for students to gain professional experience at a news media outlet, develop a portfolio and obtain the recommendations that are essential for them to be competitive in the job market.

The journalism internship program at the University of Cincinnati provides journalism majors and certificate students with unique internship opportunities. The program has partnerships with many professional and non-profit communities in the Cincinnati area and beyond.

Journalism majors and certificate students are required to complete one journalism internship for academic credit. After securing an internship, they enroll in JOUR-5050, the journalism internship class. Here is a sample of recent Journalism internships:
