Data is a section that emerged from the Daily Bruin’s Stack Data Journalism blog with the purpose of creating interactive, data-driven content for both Stack articles and as accompanying graphics for articles from other sections.

As a data journalist for the Daily Bruin, you will learn to write articles that are relevant to our campus while using data visualizations and infographics to help tell the story. As an intern, you will gain practical reporting, data analysis, coding and writing experience while working to create projects on deadline. We use JavaScript, Python and Excel to create our interactive articles, and we will teach you all the skills you’ll need to know during training. Prior coding and/or journalism experience is not required (nor expected) for intern applicants. (To see past Stack’s past work, follow this link: https://stack.dailybruin.com/)

REQUIREMENTS:

Data journalism interns are expected to work on one major Data (aka “Stack”) project and complete 1 request or an Instagram post per quarter.

Please note that content production requirements will vary depending on the number of team members and demands of other content sections.

All interns are expected to be available for one 1-hour meeting per week.

Applications are due by Monday, October 7th, at 12 PM PST. Please contact the Data editors at ([email protected]) or the Data editor Liam McGlynn ([email protected]) with any questions or concerns.

IMPORTANT NOTES: No intern is required (nor expected) to have data analysis or coding skills/experience. Training and further assistance will be provided at the beginning of and throughout your time at Daily Bruin.
