Intern for The Wall Street Journal in London
|
The Wall Street Journal is seeking applications for a
summer 2020 video intern
in London. A recent Greenlee School alumna is part of the video team at the London bureau and would love to consider referring a standout Greenlee student (jr, sr or grad) for the position.
She writes: "We're a small video team in the London bureau, and the intern will be a full part of the team. They'll do a lot of editing and producing videos that'll be published on
WSJ.com
and our social media platforms. There's a
reporting internship
in Europe as well.
"Interns are paid $900 a week, and I don't think it matters where they're living now, as long as they're willing to relocate to London for the summer. It's a really cool opportunity to experience Europe for the summer, work on international news and learn from the very talented journalists in our welcoming newsroom."
If you're interested, contact Jeff Ames at
jeffames@iastate.edu
by
Oct. 14
to be put in contact with the alumna. (The deadline for referrals is Oct. 18.) Applications are open until Dec. 1.

Reynolds Journalism Institute Student Innovation Competition
|
What:
The Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute is hosting a student development competition that allows interdisciplinary U.S. college students to come together to develop an app, prototype, program that could solve a journalism challenge. This year’s challenge is to create a program, tool or prototype for photo, video or audio verification. Deep fake videos, fabricated photos and audio are among the biggest challenges the news industry faces. Lawmakers have considered legislation against false images, but how long will it take for policies to be implemented and will they be able to solve the problem?

all U.S. college students
. Typically teams come from various backgrounds including computer science, journalism and business. This year there must be at least one journalism or communications student on the team.
Where:
Develop the idea from your school or university. If your team is selected as a finalist, you would come to the Missouri School of Journalism on Sat. Feb. 8 to present in front of a panel of industry judges and the public.
When:
Students who plan to enter the competition have the next three months to build their tool, prototype or program.
Why:
1. Chance to win up to $10,000 in prize money
2. Looks good on your resume.
3. Your finished prototype could turn into a future business opportunity.
