WUSF Public Media is recruiting college students to be news interns for the spring 2021 semester.
In addition to radio news, digital news, and social media positions, we're adding a new WUSF News / Health News Florida internship.
Applications for all Spring internships are open through Dec. 11.
Interns will work closely with our team of seasoned editors and reporters learning how to report, write and produce stories for radio and online platforms. It’s a place where students are treated like professional journalists from the start and 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.
WUSF News is filling the following unpaid internships:

All of the WUSF News internships require students to work a full eight-hour shift one or two days a week. Half day shifts are not available. College credit is available for interns as well.
NOTE: A multiday paid WUSF News internship will open and be posted here as soon as approval from the university is received. Please check back for more information.
The internships will start in early to mid-January and last through the spring semester. After an approximately two-week instructional period that may include visits to the USF Tampa campus, all internships will be conducted remotely. Students will work and receive editing and instruction directly from an editor throughout. Internships also are subject to change related to USF and WUSF protocols surrounding COVID-19.
