The Northern Times is looking for a new journalism intern  – The Northern Times

The Northern Times, the main English-language news site covering Groningen, Friesland, and Drenthe, is looking for its next journalism intern!

Are you a student in the Netherlands who’s passionate about the news, storytelling, and making a difference? Are you looking for an early-career (paid) internship that can help you expand your portfolio? Or an internship that’s part of your university course requirements? Then we’d like to hear from you!

About us

We’re a small team that’s committed to delivering interesting, helpful, and entertaining content to our audience.

What you’ll be doing:

• Finding interesting stories relevant to our audience in Groningen, Friesland, and Drenthe
• Writing daily news articles for our website in English
• Interviewing local residents
• Creating content for our social media channels

Who we’re looking for:

We’re looking for someone who’s ideally already familiar with how journalism works. But since this is an internship it’s perfectly fine if you’re still early in your career as long as you’re willing to learn and improve your skills.

Some things that we’re looking for are must-haves. We’re pretty flexible about the rest.

The must-haves:

• Must be a student who’s registered at a Dutch university and is pursuing a relevant degree
• Available for at least 7 weeks
• Good written English
• A genuine interest in journalism and a friendly attitude

Those are the must haves.
