News Intern - The Bradenton Herald

Come to The Bradenton Herald to intern and you'll be in paradise. You'll hold politicians accountable, answer the latest health questions for your readers, and make a video of a place no one else can go to. You'll break the news and explain the issues.

Our summer news internships are 10-week, paid positions on-site that provide weekly skills training sessions and networking opportunities.

As a news intern, you can expect to:

• Be treated like a staff member, whether you are working as a reporter, visual storyteller, or audience / social media specialist. 
• You will be assigned to a senior-level mentor during the internship and will receive coaching, training and mentoring.
• Work with seasoned staffers and work directly with local leaders.

Interns don't need world-shaking events to play a major role at the Herald. There's plenty of news to go around.

Previous experience reporting and/or producing for a student or professional news publication is a plus. This internship program involves on-site work, so interns should be prepared to live near the location of their respective newsrooms. 

To apply: Please upload a persuasive cover letter, resume and 3-5 samples of your best news-related work. Incomplete applications may not be given full consideration.

Deadline: Dec. 8, 2025
