News Intern (Summer 2026)
Step inside the newsroom where stories break, voices matter, and information moves at the speed of now.
We're looking for a passionate, curious, and driven News Intern to join our team for Summer 2026. As part of a forward-thinking media organization, you won't just observe-you'll actively contribute to the storytelling that informs and connects our community across platforms.
From breaking news to digital-first storytelling, this is your opportunity to experience what modern journalism really looks like.
What You'll Do
This is a fast-paced, real newsroom-no two days are the same.
- Create & Contribute: Assist in researching, writing, and producing news stories for broadcast and digital platforms
- Be Where the Action Is: Work alongside reporters, anchors, producers, and photographers-both in the newsroom and out in the field
- Pitch Ideas: Bring fresh story ideas to the table and help shape coverage that matters to our audience
- Get Hands-On: Learn how to shoot video, frame compelling visuals, and understand what makes a story stand out
- Behind the Scenes: Gain exposure to control room operations and how live broadcasts come together in real time
This internship is designed to build real skills-not just fill a line on your résumé.
- Hands-on experience in modern, multi-platform journalism
- A deeper understanding of how today's newsrooms operate-from broadcast to digital and social
- Opportunities to build a professional portfolio with published or produced work
- Mentorship from experienced journalists who know the industry inside and out
- Valuable connections to jumpstart your career in media
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program, or a recent graduate
- Be at least a sophomore at an accredited college/university
- Be eligible to work in the United States
- Be available to work on-site at WPEC in West Palm Beach, FL approximately 15 hours per week for 10 weeks
- Be able to start between June 1 - June 19, 2026
- Have reliable transportation (housing/relocation is not provided)
- Be passionate about local news, storytelling, and community impact
- Thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
