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’s Human Resources Department oversees the training and learning experience of each intern by providing interns with seminars on career development, and helping them achieve goals throughout the session. VICE is dedicated to its internship program and often times the best and the brightest are selected to join the VICE family. 

COMMUNICATIONS INTERN

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Communications Intern contributes to VICE and the company’s overall relationship with its audience, the press, and its presence in the media. The ideal Intern will be a college Junior or Senior with an interest in pursuing a career in PR/Communications. They must possess strong written, research, and personal skills; as well as an active interest in the news (print and digital), Internet, and current trends; alongside topics in fashion, music, culture, lifestyle, food, and travel. Interns will gain experience with pitching, press reports, event planning, and will undoubtedly walk away from the experience with a deeper knowledge of the digital media landscape. Past experience in writing web-based content, proficiency in Excel, and image editing in Keynote are strongly encouraged.
