As a La Gente video intern, you will focus on creating content that is innovative, imaginative, and dynamic that reflect our core values of community self-determination, social justice, and equity for all oppressed peoples. Further, you will learn the ins and outs of producing/publishing content on a media platform.

To successfully complete the internship by the end of the quarter, you must have completed the following tasks to your editor’s satisfaction:

1. Produce a minimum of one short form video, as assigned by editorial staff.

In addition to position-specific training through the publication, all interns are required to attend mandatory media training as provided by Student Media on the following tentative dates: October 17th- 18th or 24th-25th (Failure to attend assigned Student Media Trainings will mean dismissal from the internship. Please plan accordingly: make sure that you are able to attend all trainings on time and for its full duration).  Interviews for intern positions will be scheduled with the editorial staff during Week 2.

Additionally, with completion of the internship, you may also join one of the following teams:

1. Radio – Our weekly live podcast that covers topics like art, entertainment, news, politics, community organizing, and Latinidad! With dynamic conversations and guest appearances, this team expands the meaning of media coverage. 

2. Marketing/Social Media – This team creates multimedia campaigns to increase community engagement on all our platforms- Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), and Instagram. Through content-creation, we reflect La Gente’s core values of community self-determination, social justice, and equality for all oppressed peoples. This position requires awareness of media trends and news development. 

NOTE: If you are interested in our internal sections (Radio/Marketing), please note that you must have a minimum of one quarter with the publication. Furthermore, you are expected to meet the quota of the section you were accepted into, alongside the internal section obligations. This also means you cannot switch into a different section; if you are interested in cross-training into a different section (Visuals/Video/Copy/Writing), please let us know so we can help you enroll into Student Media training during the Fall/Winter quarters.
