News Intern - Charlotte Observer

Join The Charlotte Observer’s newsroom as a paid intern in summer 2023 working with our exceptional team of journalists in a vibrant city. From Day 1 of your internship, you will be welcomed as part of The Charlotte Observer staff. We expect our interns to work as beginning professionals from their first day: to report (or shoot) stories ready to be edited for digital and print publication. We hire for positions on various desks, including visuals, sports, business, breaking news and government. Through training opportunities scheduled during the work day, you’ll have access to sessions with experienced journalists and learn about topics such as reporting and writing news stories, researching public documents, shooting video on deadline assignments and understanding libel law. Each intern works with a mentor and can expect regular feedback and coaching from their editor. We are committed, across our newsroom, to helping interns develop as journalists.
