Hi there!
How to get an internship in news channel is a frequent question for young journalism.
Well, the answer is not hard!
Sometimes sending email to request an interview won't work. The HR team must receive hundreds of emails everyday and they won't be looking at them all so you can simply call the HR for the news channel you want to work with and ask them for internship opportunities. It will be great if they arrange an interview or conduct a phone interview right away.
If you know someone working in news channel ask for the HR number or if he can refer you to the HR team to get an internship.
Good advice while looking for an internship:
Don’t go big for your hunt. Avoid big news channel. You wont get an easy entry and if you get a chance to be an intern, you will not have someone to teach you properly because the employees will be busy with their day to day job.
Keep your unpaid internship option open. Don’t discredit the unpaid internship, don’t turn down any opportunity until you’ve got the offers on your table.
For media and journalism position, HR team will screen your social media presence. Update your social media and post new videos and articles written by you.
Good Luck!
