Student Magazine Journalism interns in Cambodia work for a monthly publication called Student Magazine. The magazine is written in both English and Khmer, so interns need to both speak and write fluent English.

You must have good computer skills and a strong interest in journalism, media, and education. When you apply please have your resume prepared; we will need as much information as possible about your relevant experience and skills.

The magazine focuses on educational issues and is targeted towards Cambodian students. It aims to educate, empower, and entertain its readership. There are 13 people working for the magazine who are split between three teams: marketing, design, and production. It is based in the capital city of Phnom Penh and is a politically neutral publication.

Your Role as a Journalism Intern in Cambodia

The magazine accepts two interns at a time and would ideally have one person working on the marketing team and the other in production. Both roles involve a range of work that can be tailored to any specific interests or experience you may have.

If you are working on the production team, your daily tasks may include writing, editing, and proof reading articles. You could be asked to conduct interviews or do some photography and design. If you’re interning on the marketing team, you will be involved in all aspects of promoting the magazine and will work closely with the marketing manager.

You will be allocated your own supervisor at the paper. They will work closely with you to discuss any ideas and give constructive feedback on your work. Your input will be encouraged, so take this opportunity to make recommendations or explain practices back home. Your colleagues will appreciate a hard working attitude, adaptability, and a willingness to learn.

It is a good idea for all Journalism interns to research and read about Cambodia’s recent history before starting the internship. This will provide you with a good understanding of current issues in the country and can put news stories into context when you arrive.

Interns are expected to dress in business casual attire and be punctual. Working hours are approximately from 8-12 and 2-5 Monday to Friday.
