Arts & Entertainment intern

The Arts & Entertainment section provides in-depth coverage of the cultural landscape and arts scene both at UCLA and within the greater Los Angeles community, focusing on content of student-interest. The section has three beats: Lifestyle, Music | Fine arts and Theater | Film | Television. 

The Music | Fine Arts beat’s coverage includes the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, UCLA School of Arts and Architecture, student bands, student exhibitions and music culture.

The Theater | Film | Television beat covers film, television and theater news on campus and in the surrounding LA area, including the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, student filmmakers, actors, screenwriters and directors. 

The Lifestyle beat covers topics including books, food, fashion, wellness, video games, social media and other A&E topics that might not fall under the other beats.

• Develop strong interpersonal and research skills through interviewing artists, performers and cultural figures while producing pieces on a tight deadline

• Gain experience working within a fast-paced editorial team, participating in section meetings, responding to edits in a timely manner and contributing to the development of A&E content.
