2027 Times Community News Summer Reporting Internship
Ends on
Times Community News publishes daily online and four times a week in print editions distributed with the Los Angeles Times in Orange County. This intern will be responsible for breaking news, news features and weekenders and will be based in the Fountain Valley office. Reporters often write one to two stories a day, so only applicants with a record of producing deadline copy will be considered. Though this is a community newspaper, the Daily Pilot and TimesOC are owned by the Los Angeles Times and committed to high standards for newsgathering.
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 for the reporting positions must have a valid driver's license and access to a car in good working condition. Internships are for students who have not worked professionally as staff journalists. Preference will be given to those interested in community news coverage. With training from our staff, we will help develop, polish and elevate your work and add to your journalistic toolbox.
TO APPLY: Submit a cover letter; resume with three references; one-page personal essay; and up to six work samples. 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 May 1. Summer interns are expected to start May 24, June 7 or June 21.
