GBH News Digital Team Internship - Summer 2024
GBH enriches people's lives through programs and services that educate, inspire, and entertain, fostering citizenship and culture, the joy of learning, and the power of diverse perspectives.
At GBH, we believe in the advantages of coming together to build community, mentor and learn from colleagues, and connect more deeply with our mission. As a result, the majority of our staff are hybrid and work both from home and onsite. Our current hybrid approach requires staff to work onsite a minimum of two days each week, every Tuesday and one other day, to be determined by their business unit. Hybrid staff are also welcome to come in additional days each week or may be asked to come in on other days by their manager.
JOB OVERVIEW
The Digital Team intern will be assigned to innovative projects that support creating journalism natively on digital and social platforms – the places where audiences are getting their news today.
Interns on our team will have a wide variety of opportunities including:
- Creating in-depth digital-first features that shed light on the most important issues facing our region.
- Learning how to manage and operate state-of-the-art streaming technology to bring our most popular programs to a wider audience across YouTube, Facebook, and beyond;
- Identifying opportunities for great social video, and then scripting, editing, and collaborating in the production of these videos;
- Being on the inside of creating and implementing a solid digital and social strategy for a new program from the ground up;
Producer will be responsible for creating and scheduling daily posts and original content across our social media channels as well as producing news content to be published on GBHNews.org. While the Social/Digital Associate Producer specializes in digital storytelling and social media, this role calls for a multiplatform thinker who can creatively connect our journalism from audio, video and other media to our digital audiences.
RESPONSIBILITIES
An ideal candidate will have experience working in a fast-paced news environment. Key abilities we are looking for:
- Self starter who contributes and executes on stories independently and collaboratively
- Demonstrated effective and professional use of social platforms including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok.
- Interest in learning video editing skills. Some experience a plus.
- Interest in efforts to “ride along” with beat reporters to bring the story to life across multiple platforms.
