Interns will help with daily production tasks, gathering assets and elements for rundowns, assisting with editing clips (longform and shortform), brainstorming and editing shoulder content (e.g. reaction clips and extras). They will also track community sentiment, surface audience feedback and support social posting.

 <ul>
 <li>
 A r&eacute;sum&eacute;
 </li>
 <li>
 A cover letter that includes links to shows or videos you have worked on and a description of what specifically you contributed to the final product.
 </li>
 <li>
 An original social video on any contemporary news topic, with a hook, a story, and a call to action.
 </li>
 <li>
 A second video explaining how you view today&rsquo;s news social landscape. You should address which YouTube shows and independent creators are approaching the landscape effectively, which ones aren&rsquo;t, and what news media companies can learn from them.
 </li>
 <li>
 If you are not able to upload a video file due to file size limitations, please include a link to a video hosted elsewhere in your resume or cover letter.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 What Motivates You
 
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 You&rsquo;re a creator-in-progress, whether that&rsquo;s on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram.
 </li>
 <li>
 You are comfortable editing your own stuff (on Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut, Apple Final Cut Pro, or even Apple iMovie).
 </li>
 <li>
 You&rsquo;re passionate about news, culture and internet fandoms, and know what people are sharing right now.
 </li>
 <li>
 You&rsquo;re hungry to learn the professional workflows behind making content at scale.
 </li>
 <li>
 You are comfortable in fast-paced environments and on deadline.
 </li>
 <li>
 We welcome interns with a range of interests &mdash; from those who love creating their own talking-head videos to those obsessed with editing political clips, remixing footage and making mashups.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Skills And Experience You Bring
 
 
 
 We are looking for college juniors, seniors, graduate students, and recent graduates.
 
 
 Required Skills:

 <li>
 Familiarity with Adobe Photoshop or Canva for quick graphics and thumbnails.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Preferred Skills:
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Understanding of YouTube Studio basics (metadata, scheduling, analytics).
 </li>
 <li>
 Experience running your own channel, page or fan account, including a keen sense of how to write platform-native social captions.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 All work must be submitted in English.
 
 
 
 Collaboration makes us stronger. That&rsquo;s why our offices are designed with open layouts, modern technology, and easy access to transportation. With certain exceptions for newsgathering and business travel, we work on-site five days a week.
