Journalism Internship

Australian experiences helped me with journalism jobs in the future!
By Gloria Buten
 
I had done a lot of travelling to Australia and as always keen to share my experiences with anybody who would listen! I loved the country and it was an amazing place, and I soon found a perfect outlet for me to discuss it! I stumbled across a website where people like me would share stories from their Australian adventures and it could count as a journalism internship. This was quite funny as I had actually found myself recently wanting to do a journalism career, so it was pretty much the perfect way for me to start out on this!
 
I would get the information I needed and soon I was writing away. I wasn't unfortunately getting paid for the articles but the experience it would give me would really come in handy later on in my life! As I mentioned, I had been to Australia many times before so I had no troubles writing about all the places I had been to and all the experience I had. I would write about each of the cities I had been to, the best tips I would have for travel and even which restaurants to eat at and which ones to avoid. I would lose countless hours writing all different articles and I would always be having a blast when I was doing them! I think I wrote over 100 articles, that's how dedicated I became!
 
Many of you reading this probably think it's silly to work for these articles without getting paid but I can assure you it really isn't. Go out there and do jobs like this and get internships online as you will find it can help you so much when it comes to applying for other jobs down the track. I had many of my employers look at the experience I received by doing the internship extremely favourably, and it probably helped me land a few of my many jobs! Give it a go, and experience the amazing world of journalism!
