2025 L.A. Times Summer Visual Journalism Internships
Ends on
We are looking for interns to work with our photography and video teams. These are paid internships and summer placements usually run from June to August, with rolling start dates to accommodate school schedules.
QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants must be actively working toward an undergraduate or graduate degree and must be eligible to work in the U.S. Graduates may qualify if you've finished school within six months of the start of the internship. Applicants must have a valid driver's license, access to a car in good working condition and their own camera equipment. A limited amount of pool gear is available. Internships are for students who have not worked professionally as staff journalists. A deep understanding of the work is required as interns are expected to hit the ground running when they arrive. This is an advanced program, with one to two previous internships required. With training from our staff, we will help develop, polish and elevate your work and add to your journalistic toolbox.
TO APPLY: Submit a brief cover letter; resume with three references; one-page personal essay; and links to three complete photo stories or multimedia stories and a selection of single images. There is no prompt for the essay.
The deadline to apply is Nov. 15 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
All applicants will receive an email notification of the committee’s decision by April 1.
