International Journalism Internships in Sri Lanka
For those seeking to gain cutting-edge work experience abroad in journalism, this is a fantastic opportunity. While living and working in the buzzing capital of Colombo, you will gain an incredible amount of work experience abroad. In this city there is never a dull moment and you’ll find plenty to report on.
Projects Abroad now has both print and radio journalism internships running in Colombo, Sri Lanka’s capital. Please note that to intern on either the print or radio journalism internships, you must have some basic previous journalistic experience, a high level of written English and a passion for journalism. You will be asked to submit your résumé and a sample article when you apply.
This internship is ideal for college students and graduates. However, if you are an experienced journalist then there are also plenty of opportunities for you too. This is your chance to put together a portfolio of journalistic work while living on the beautiful island of Sri Lanka.
International Print Journalism Internships in Sri Lanka with Projects Abroad
Print journalism interns will work at either a national daily or weekly English language publication. The papers we work with feature articles on current affairs, arts, sports and business. Researching, interviewing, feature writing and reporting will all be part of your daily tasks. You can expect that you will be set a variety of assignments; one day you may be reviewing a play, the next you may find yourself at a cocktail party or writing about business and commerce, or reporting on the latest news.
Throughout your internship you will get the chance to shadow reporters, learn top tips and techniques and ultimately become a roving reporter pursuing your own ideas and contacts.
International Radio Journalism Internships in Sri Lanka with Projects Abroad
The TNL Radio Network is based in the heart of Colombo. Depending on your interests and experience you could work in the following areas: broadcasting, sales and marketing, creative writing, news journalism and there are also opportunities within the technical department. The hours of work are flexible and interns can expect to work late into the evening or even on weekends, if the work requires it.
The head of the radio station also prefers that you apply for at least a three month internship and requests that you submit a copy of your résumé when you apply. Interns need to view this as a serious work placement, and the head of the station would prefer to accept interns who have already completed at least one year of college and are looking to pursue journalism as a career.
On this internship in Sri Lanka your input will be greatly encouraged and appreciated, especially if you prove to be adaptable and willing. Take every opportunity presented to you and you will reap the journalistic rewards!
