UPDATED September 30, 2026
WLRN News is seeking talented journalists to join us for our spring and summer 2027 internships.
We are a small but mighty team that punches above our weight, and we rely on our interns to help us cover the constant inundation of news that South Florida is known for. That means, in this position, you’ll be pitching, reporting and producing stories for our radio newscasts, public affairs programs and WLRN.org.
In recent years, our interns have assisted with coverage of some of the biggest news stories in the region, including the 2018 Parkland school shooting, the 2021 condominium collapse in Surfside, elections and hurricanes. Some of our interns’ stories have even gone national on NPR and radio programs like Marketplace.
Throughout the experience, you’ll receive training, coaching and mentorship from our team of top-notch journalists.
For the spring, our preference is to hire one full-time intern. Recent grads are encouraged to apply.
For the summer, we hope to hire two full-time interns.
Full-time interns work 40 hours per week, while part-time interns work 20 hours per week. The total internship period is 12 weeks, at a pay rate of $16 per hour.
Interns will be provided with audio recording equipment they may keep at the successful conclusion of their internship.
Candidates may apply to be considered for both spring and summer internships.
