About the Role
Strengthening and empowering all of the communities we serve.
 

The Oregonian/OregonLive is hiring a Newsroom Intern through the Charles Snowden Program for Excellence in Journalism.

 

The program is open to students (undergraduate and graduate) at all Oregon colleges and universities who have completed a college-level reporting course and/or have gained experience with a campus or community news publication.

 

Interns in The Oregonian/OregonLive’s award-winning newsroom contribute to fast-paced breaking news reports and have the opportunity to work on impactful and enterprising projects, all under the guidance of skilled and experienced editors. We offer internships across the news, features, sports and visuals departments.

 

We’re committed to providing a learning environment for emerging journalists. Each intern is paired with an experienced mentor and has access to newsroom training to expand their skills.

 

The Snowden Internship is expected to begin in June and last 10 weeks. The pay rate for this position is $20/hr.

 

Interns must make their own housing arrangements and should have a valid driver license. Company vehicles are available for work-related travel, though many interns prefer to bring their own vehicle to experience Oregon in their free time.
