Journalistic internship at Charles University Press Department

Each semester, Charles University Press Department offers a journalistic internship to the exchange students of Charles University.

We offer a possibility to proof-read, edit and by interest write own articles for the English section of our online university magazine iForum.

We search for students with future interest in journalistic or editing job, who can spare approximately 2 hours a week to proof-read texts prepared by the European Office or our Press Department (depending on the number of interested students, there will be 1-2 interviews/articles to be edited/written in 1 month for 1 student).

After having edited 1-3 articles to get the general idea of how our texts are structured, you are, by interest, cordially invited to write on your own for us (we will be happy to provide you with invitations to the international events Charles University organizes and you can write about them or prepare new interviews with your fellow Erasmus/international students).

You will gain:

- working experience in the official magazine of a well-known European university

- knowledge of how a university works on the inside

- possibility to meet interesting people working for or visiting Charles University

- invitations to Charles University international events (often otherwise not accessible to general public)

- certificate confirming and describing your internship with us

We require:

- good level of written English (native speakers of English are preferred for the job of editors)

- approximately 2 hours of your time a week in the time you get an interview/article to be edited or written for us (= 1-2 times a month)

- reliability

- interest in university life and happening at Charles University

- in the case you are interested in writing for us on your own, 1-3 edited interviews/articles for our magazine to hand in before writing on your own (unless you have already written/edited texts for another similar magazine or have other similar experience)

The internship is unpaid.
