The Chicago chapter of the Asian American Journalists Association is pleased to sponsor a paid summer 2021 internship at ABC7 Chicago, a local leader in broadcast news.
The intern will earn a $3,000 stipend, given in honor of chapter co-founder and longtime ABC7 Chicago journalist Linda Yu for her dedication to empowering the voices of Asian Americans.
The chosen candidate will receive valuable, hands-on reporting experience at a top Chicago newsroom. The internship will last 8-10 weeks during summer 2021, for approximately 18 hours per week. Interns will be responsible for providing their own transportation.
All candidates must submit a resume, an essay and two to four clips or other work samples. Finalists will need to submit a second, shorter application through ABC’s employment platform.
REQUIREMENTS
- Eligible interns are incoming junior or senior undergraduate students, graduate students or recent college graduates within one year of graduation.
- Interns must be student members of AAJA by the time they start the internship (register at aaja.org).
