The Des Moines Register is actively searching for a dynamic high school intern to join its team, focusing on fall high school sports coverage. This unique opportunity allows a student to immerse themselves in multimedia content creation, producing engaging short-form videos, compelling social media narratives, and informative written reports for both The Register and its online platform.
This is a compensated role that requires a flexible schedule to accommodate after-school commitments, including evenings and weekends, as interns will travel to games within or near their local communities. While some work may be conducted at the Des Moines newsroom, the program is part of a broader USA TODAY Network initiative to empower high school students nationwide in covering high school sports. Supported by T-Mobile, the internship aims to provide invaluable real-world experience in various journalistic disciplines, all under the guidance of seasoned Register editors. A select group of participants may even be featured in a documentary-style video showcasing their journey and contributions.
Prospective candidates are encouraged to apply before the deadline of August 7th. This internship offers an unparalleled chance for aspiring journalists to develop their skills, gain practical experience, and contribute to local sports coverage in a meaningful way, fostering a new generation of media professionals.
