Calling all budding journalists - SCMP is taking internship applications to cover Hong Kong
Our summer interns spend 12 exciting weeks as paid reporters, covering one of the world's most dynamic cities
The South China Morning Post is the most trusted newspaper in Hong Kong. Through our website, scmp.com, we also reach millions of readers around the world.
Every year we hire bright, energetic summer interns and give them the opportunity of a lifetime. SCMP’s interns report on everything from protest marches to escalator safety.
Who? Applicants should be third or fourth-year university students or be university graduates. Their English should be excellent. Fluency in Cantonese or Putonghua is a plus. So are multi-media skills.
What? Would-be interns should send a cover letter explaining their interest in SCMP, their language skills and their journalism experience, if any. Applications should also include three published (in print or online) news or feature articles as well as a CV.
When? The deadline for overseas applications is January 18, 2016. The deadline for local applications (those from Hongkongers or students attending local universities) is February 18. Successful applicants will be notified in mid-March. Next summer’s internships will run for 12 weeks from June 6 to August 26, 2016.
