Social Media & Video Production Interns (Multiple Roles) | People's Voice - Spring 2026
COMPANY:
People's Voice - A revolutionary crowdfunded journalism and content creation platform that puts the power of media back in the hands of the people.
Website: www.peoplesvoice.media
People's Voice is a new startup based in Miami. We are not affiliated with any other organization using a similar name.
ABOUT US:
People's Voice is a Miami-based media technology startup changing how journalism and content creation work. Our platform allows users to submit and fund questions they want asked to politicians, celebrities, public figures, and content creators - and share in the rewards when those questions get answered. Think of it as democracy meets media meets crowdfunding. We're building a new model for accountability journalism and creator-driven content.
Traditional media outlets decide which questions get asked. People's Voice does something different - we let the audience decide. We're building a new model for accountability journalism and creator-driven content where citizens aren't just passive consumers. They're active participants who vote for the questions and ideas that matter to them.
ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP:
This internship is designed to provide hands-on learning in social media strategy, video production, content creation, news monitoring, and audience engagement. You will learn how to create compelling content, produce professional and viral videos, and build an audience from the ground up.
This is not a passive internship. You will be actively creating content that gets posted to real accounts, producing videos that range from polished and professional to funny and viral, monitoring breaking news for content opportunities, and learning how media companies turn stories into audience growth. The skills you develop here transfer directly to careers in film, video production, social media management, journalism, digital marketing, public relations, and communications.
You'll report directly to the CEO, collaborate with other interns, and get hands-on experience building a real platform. This is a ground-floor opportunity to learn fast, build your portfolio, and be part of something that could reshape how media works.
