Al-Jazeera On Hunt For English Interns

Do you have the vigor to get into international political reporting scene? Here’s chance for you that will set your reporting spirits high. Al-Jazeera, Doha (Qatar) based media house is looking for English interns. You only need to pay your own airfare for a three-month unpaid internship.

Just look on the positive aspects where DQ-HQ-ed network is willing to pay for your accommodation, no matter what transpires in the newsroom during this 3-months internship. You will come out as an ultimate conversation starter for future media jobs. Interns will also get an opportunity to work with AJ English partner X Media Interactive.

As an intern you need to have cross cultural awareness. You should have the willingness to learn as well as to contribute. To be a good learner, you need to be a good listener as well.

You should be ready to work in areas like Research & Reporting, Future Mapping, Creative Ideas, Development & Design, and others. If you do not understand these terms then probably this is not your cup of tea.

On the top of this, simply push off if you do not know the meaning of Al-Jazeera in Arabic! So it’s the time to Google it.
