Internships
Newsroom
Are you interested in a career in media, journalism, or radio?
4ZZZ radio is offering a four-month internship program for people wishing to develop their news presentation and reporting skills. During the internship, students write, produce, and present weekly news bulletins for Zedlines.
The internship requires a commitment of one morning per week from 7:00am-12:00pm at the 4ZZZ station in Fortitude Valley. Interns will start their first month in Early September and end in Late December. Interns will gain experience in:
- News writing and researching
- Voice presentation and on-air announcing
- Interview Techniques and Technologies
- Audio recording and editing
- Social media promotion and posting stories to the web
Interns at 4ZZZ join a team of nearly 200 active volunteers who assist the station in production, PR, music, promotions and online reviews. After completing a Zedlines internship, there are opportunities to join and contribute to 4ZZZ’s news and current affairs program, Brisbane Line, or work in other areas of the station – even have your own radio show!
Applications for the September to December internship are open NOW until Sunday, November 17, 2024
