Internship Details

Internships in Journalism & Media provide essential real-world experience, to excel in a competitive career. To produce high-quality journalism, come prepared to challenge your mindset and cultural assumptions, as you learn from others who have diverse backgrounds and voices. Interns are encouraged to ask questions and embrace the cultural immersion during this unique opportunity. Build your resume and character, exploring journalism abroad!

There is a broad portfolio of placements available for Journalism & Media internships in Morocco. Hosted in the capital city of Rabat, you’ll find many organizations involved in social and cultural issues. The city is particularly known for the Mawazine music festival, which attracts both local and international artists, during a week-long event. Although the Moroccan government owns many of the main media outlets, other organizations additionally contribute to the media scene through projects related to humanitarian and economic development.

To receive your Journalism & Media internship placement in Morocco - once you have confirmed your participation - you’ll be asked to provide a copy of your resume and a cover letter. All interns are provided placement details, in consideration of your interests, skills, study background, and previous experience level. If there is a particular issue or media field you’re interested in, just let us know. We do our utmost to accommodate preferences, subject to availability.

Interns contribute under the guidance of a supervisor and may often collaborate within a team. Particular journalistic tasks or media projects can vary, depending on your internship placement and dynamic priorities. However, the key elements of a Journalism & Media internship typically pertain to finding information and presenting it creatively, through diverse platforms. The purpose may be to inform, educate, guide, entertain - or all of these things! Come prepared to be open-minded, adaptable, and willing to take on different challenges. You may anticipate activities related to content creation, copywriting, digital marketing, graphic design, customer acquisition strategies, and more.

French and/or Arabic language proficiency is not a requirement to join this internship. However, interns should expect that a language barrier can still be encountered to various extents. Interns should be prepared for the very natural and normal frustration of not always understanding what is being said around them. Come prepared and willing to surmount a language barrier (and ask for help when needed), as opposed to being intimidated by it. Bear in mind that language lessons can be added to the experience and we encourage participants to consider signing up for these.

In all cases, interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in and gaining some introductory knowledge, as you will not “hit the ground running”. Rather, you should start with learning about the placement to gain an understanding of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.

Understand and expect that individual internship experiences vary, as the specific placement that you’re assigned will depend on review of your resume and your current level of studies and experience. Therefore, if you’re at a more introductory level, you should reasonably expect a more introductory internship. Likewise, if you’re interning for a shorter duration, you will have a different experience from someone who is interning for a longer duration. Placement preferences are considered but always subject to availability.

Typical Schedule: Approximately Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm.
