Rebel News' summer and year long internships provide participants with a unique ability to develop their skills in producing alternative media, fundraising, writing, and social media marketing. You’ll have a "backstage pass" to see how our video reports are made, and how Rebel News crowdfunds our citizen journalism.
Rebel News interns have gone on to work for politicians and high-ranking businesses across the globe. Some interns have turned their experiences into full-time jobs with Rebel News too.
Interns will also be able to pitch ideas and write scripts for their own videos if they would like to be in front of the camera.
Interns will be expected to work approximately 35 - 40 hours/week. Internship start and end dates are flexible and can accommodate individual school schedules.
Compensation will be provided at a modest rate, and interns are expected to work out of our Toronto head office. Housing is not provided.
