Intern with the Dalhousie Gazette

The Gazette is accepting internship applications for the winter 2022 semester. Any student at Dalhousie University or the University of King’s College can apply. You do not need to be a journalism major or have any journalistic experience!

Interning with us means you will:

  1. Publish a minimum of five articles (or equivalent such as photo essays, videos, etc.)
  2. Meet with a staff editor at least once every two weeks
  3. Learn about the Gazette‘s editing process
  4. Learn how to pitch to a publication
  5. Form an understanding of Canadian Press (CP) style
  6. Gain a better understanding of the journalism industry

We’re accepting applications for the following positions: sports intern, arts and lifestyle intern, opinions intern and news intern.

To apply, please email editor@dalgazette.com with the following information:

  • Your name
  • What university you attend
  • What section you wish to intern for
  • A short statement (250 words max.) explaining why you are applying and why you suit the role
  • A short writing sample (500 to 750 words max.); this may be a piece of journalistic writing, an excerpt from an academic essay or a piece of creative writing if you are applying as an arts and lifestyle intern.

You may indicate your interest in more than one section, but you can only be chosen for one position. Therefore, the Gazette cannot guarantee you’ll intern for your first choice section. The number of interns we accept will be limited depending on the editorial team’s availability.

The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. on Jan. 10, 2021. If you have any questions, please email editor@dalgazette.com.

Interns will be paid as regular contributors as per our pay policy ($10-$30 for a story and visual, or equivalent).
