WUSF News is once again seeking student journalists who want to work and learn in a professional newsroom. We're taking applications for a number of internships for the Spring 2020 semester, including the Stephen Noble/WUSF News Internship - a semester-long chance to develop into a public radio reporter.
UPDATE: All internships now taking applications through midnight, Nov. 7.
Interns will work closely with our team of seasoned reporters learning how to research, write and produce stories for radio and online platforms. It’s a place where students are treated like a real journalist from the start, assigned stories that matter to millions of Tampa Bay area residents.
It’s where you'll discover how public media tries to serve its audience differently from commercial news organizations.

This is a two-day a week (15 hours) position.
