UCLA Radio is looking for Fall 2024 Interns!

Use this application to creatively show us how you would be an active member of UCLA Radio. Be yourself, and have fun with it! The goal of this application is to get a sense of who you are and how you could uniquely and originally contribute to the station. We are looking for interns with enthusiasm and new ideas for improving how we use our platform!

Please be aware of the commitment involved with joining Radio. For Fall Quarter 2024, interns will be expected to attend mandatory intern meetings on Monday evenings, attend regular department meetings and UCLA Student Media workshops, all-station meetings, and other potential events/socials. There will also be regular creative, station-related tasks and projects. Most interns find all of these engagements fun and rewarding, but if you don’t have the time, please consider applying in a future quarter! If you are accepted, we will expect that you attend the first intern class on Monday, October 14th in the evening, and a Mandatory ASUCLA Student Media training during October.

You may complete two applications maximum. If you are accepted as an intern, you will not be required to stay in the department you applied for after intern quarter. Radio members are encouraged to explore all departments fully, and switch or contribute to multiple if they wish. Members of any department are welcome to have a show on-air.

NEWS The News department is responsible for producing intimate, independent journalism and coverage of events on campus and in the broader Los Angeles area. We do this through a variety of media; our projects include the writing and design of print zines, live news updates, blog explainers, Op-Eds, and our News Hour show. Above all, we encourage members to tell stories that matter to them, from lighthearted articles to weighty issues. Through a mix of traditional and more creative reporting styles, members have the flexibility to tell these stories in various formats, ensuring that our coverage represents and is accessible to our diverse audiences.

NOTE: All new UCLA Radio members are considered "interns" during their first quarter, regardless of department. The designation of intern or staff on each application is arbitrary; there is no difference.
