Video intern

Daily Bruin’s video team produces award-winning, original visual reporting enjoyed by the UCLA and Westwood communities on our website, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok pages – including the broadcast news style show, On The Steps. Video journalists pitch and take on important stories that bring our community together, give voice to the voiceless and hold people with power to account. They collaborate to source, film and edit high quality videos that meet important ethical standards. Team members have plenty of opportunities for professional development and to collaborate with other sections in the paper, while connecting with our dedicated and friendly videojournalism team. No experience is required to join the team – we’ll teach you everything you need to know and more!

• Uphold the Daily Bruin’s ethical standards, including declaring conflicts of interest, refraining from the use of artificial intelligence and avoiding plagiarism.

• Be willing to take – and learn from – constructive feedback.
