VICE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM OVERVIEW
VICE interns will get a firsthand look into how an international media company functions on a day-to-day basis. At VICE, interns have the opportunity to learn about journalism, editing, design, public relations, production, and more.

VICE is dedicated to its internship program and often times the best and the brightest are selected to join the VICE family.
VICE.COM EDITORIAL INTERN
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
This internship is designed for current college students who are seeking experience in online media and are excited to learn about the day-to-day operations of a high-volume news and culture website. Tasks will include transcribing, researching, and fact-checking. Interns will receive training on our CMS to learn the basic functions for operating the backend of the website, and will be required to assist in setting up and managing short-form articles. In some cases, they will write them. There is also an expectation that the intern will work with his or her supervisor to complete a longform article on a topic of their choosing, which may be published by VICE at the end of the semester at an editor's discretion. An ideal candidate would be engaged with the news, up-to-date on cultural happenings, funny, and punctual––not to mention familiar with Vice.com and the work we routinely publish.
