After an initial training process, internship will have a specific focus of photojournalism (shooting and editing video), multi-media journalism (shooting and editing video, writing stories for broadcast and digital) and/or producing newscasts (editing video, stacking newscasts, writing for broadcast and digital) based on the skills and experience of the individual intern. Some sports coverage is expected for those who shoot and edit video (focusing on high school football). Position is for the 2026 Summer Semester, located in Wichita, Kansas, and will remain open until filled.
