Internship Program, WDIV Local 4, Detroit, MI

Each semester Local 4 offers internships in the newsroom. It's a wonderful chance to learn the business from the inside by experiencing how a newsroom works in the nation's 11th largest market. We believe News internships are a valuable supplement to your classroom experience.

Local 4 internships are more journalism-oriented than production-oriented. Interns work in news gathering, however, they are not able to do any hands-on work with equipment. Each intern will go out with a reporter a few times during a semester, but most of the time will be needed inside the newsroom.

The internships are paid positions.

Interns must have a note from their school that confirms they will receive credit for the internship, if accepted.
