Join an energetic group of digital innovators who care deeply about Utah, journalism and the 172-year legacy of the Deseret News. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we are serious about working together to grow our business. Deseret News internships are paid ($14/hour) and last approximately 4-6 months (one semester) in duration. Full-time (40 hours per week) and part-time (16-24 hours per week) internships are available with Deseret News with some flexibility to work with class schedules. Interns will work with their supervising editors to determine exact starting and ending dates, and weekly work schedules. If time off during the semester is needed, that must be coordinated well in advance with the supervising editor.
This internship will challenge you to:
Write news content that informs and engrosses users and keeps them coming back
Develop skills in digital news gathering, attribution and writing
Find and attract users who are engaged by our content
Contribute to a team that is gaining national attention for digital innovation

We’re looking for an intern who’s chronically online — someone who’s just as knowledgeable about the latest TikTok trends or viral Netflix show as they are about the current state of the world. As an intern, you’ll closely follow 2 to 3 beats and write short articles, roundups, evergreen/seasonal articles and link-off pieces about popular trending, cultural and entertainment news.
