What does the day look like?
Around 85% of your day is spent on routine desk work: verifying contact numbers, transcribing senior reporters' raw audio or video recordings using tools like Descript or Otter.ai, monitoring wire feeds (Reuters, AP, AFP, UzA), and formatting copy inside CMS platforms like WordPress or Arc XP. The glamorous 15% involves breaking major news stories, on-camera work, or interviewing prominent figures.
Full-time internships typically run 35 to 40 hours per week. Broadcast and digital newsrooms operate on rotational shifts: early morning shifts start at 05:30, while evening shifts run until 23:00. Weekend work is standard in fast-paced news cycles.
