Australian Geographic is looking for editorial interns!

Have you always dreamed of getting a job as a reporter on a major national magazine or newspaper? Then this may be the opportunity that launches your career.

As an intern you’ll work alongside the AG team in our offices in Sydney’s CBD. Your tasks will include reporting and writing regular stories for our website, assisting the web editor, proofing, fact checking and helping out with general office duties as required.

Candidates will either have a university degree, or will be in the process of getting one, and will have an interest in the kind of topics Australian Geographic covers. Some journalism or communication experience – on a  student newspaper for example – is a plus, but not a necessity. Degrees in topics such as journalism, geography, history, environment or any technical or scientific subject would be a big plus.

Internships are unpaid, but will result in published clips and a reference. We prefer to take candidates for three days a week over several months or full time for around four weeks, but may be able to accommodate other schedules.

To apply please send a cover note explaining why you are suited to the internship, a resume and published or unpublished writing clips to editorial@ausgeo.com.au. Please also indicate when you will be available.
