Paid Intern (Photojournalist/Multi-Media Journalist/Producer)

About the position

KSN is looking for an upper-level college student who is ready to jump into the world of TV news. We are looking for someone who has taken journalism classes and has some writing experience. Experience with collegiate TV production is not necessary, but great if you have it! Previous experience with print-based journalism also a plus. Internship will include working with multiple team members to learn many different skills in the newsroom (including shadowing producers, reporters, photographers, editors and other newsroom team members). After an initial training process, internship will have a specific focus of photojournalism (shooting and editing video), multi-media journalism (shooting and editing video, writing stories for broadcast and digital) and/or producing newscasts (editing video, stacking newscasts, writing for broadcast and digital) based on the skills and experience of the individual intern. Position is for the 2025 Summer Semester and located in Wichita, Kansas, and will remain open until filled. It could be extended to the 2025 fall semester. There is no “normal” schedule in a newsroom, so expect to work odd hours, including weekends, early mornings, or evenings. We will coordinate your class schedule with your weekly internship schedule. We have hired some of our previous rock-star interns for full-time work – this is a great way to get your foot in the door!
