Internships

• News:
  • The KUHF News internship is an entry-level, semester-long program primarily for college students, but which can also include high school students and adults who have already completed school. KUHF interns observe daily newsroom operations, including how reporters find story ideas, gather interviews and write, edit and produce their stories. Candidates for the internship should have strong writing skills and be able to work independently. Interns typically come in two full days a week, but the schedule is adaptable to interns' needs. The position is unpaid.
    
    KUHF accepts internship applications for the spring, summer, and fall sessions. To apply, please send your resume and a brief email introducing yourself. Important information to include may be where you go to school or currently work, what you study or what fields you have worked in, why you're interested in public radio—and anything else you think would be important for us to know about you at first glance. Send applications to News Director Jack Williams at jwilliams@kuhf.org. You may also submit a writing sample.
