Each semester Local 4 offers internships in the newsroom. Its a wonderful chance to learn the business from the inside by experiencing how a newsroom works in the nations 11th largest market. We believe News internships are a valuable supplement to your classroom experience.
Local 4 internships are more journalism-oriented than production-oriented. Interns work in news gathering, however, they... are not able to do any hands-on work with equipment. Each intern will go out with a reporter a few times during a semester, but most of the time will be needed inside the newsroom.
The internships are paid positions.
Interns must have a note from their school that confirms they will receive credit for the internship, if accepted.
Heres what we look for in interns :

SPECIAL PROJECTS : This unit works on news series, documentaries, election coverage and other special events that are not daily breaking news stories. Interns here get an in-depth look at what it takes to develop and research a series.

If youre a detail person, like to work in-depth on one subject and have good interviewing skills, this internship is for you.
CLICKONDETROIT.COM : This unit is responsible for website news service.
LIVE IN THE D : This is a great opportunity to get experience with a locally produced, award-winning lifestyle program.
