WZTV Fall News Intern

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 Fall 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

What You’ll Gain

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

To be considered, candidates must:

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 able to start between August 24th - September 14th
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

All candidates must apply through our careers portal and complete pre-employment requirements.
