The South Los Angeles Report is an award-winning hyper-local website dedicating to covering South Los Angeles, including Compton, Inglewood and Watts. Sponsored and based at USC’s Annenberg School for Communication, this daily news outlet is currently seeking interns, as well as publishable journalistic work from students throughout the Los Angeles area.

We are seeking reporting interns for our summer internship, to start as soon as possible. Students will gain valuable reporting experience covering a traditionally under-covered area of L.A. We also encourage multimedia stories, and will work with students to produce video, audio and slide shows for web publication. This is an excellent resume builder for students seeking to broaden their skill set, and many of our stories are re-distributed to other outlets. The type of stories produced will include event stories and day-of-air pieces, as well as features and investigative stories depending on student interest. We cover a broad range of news categories, including business, arts, sports, education and community. Internship schedules are flexible, but a minimum of one story per week is required.

If you know a student who may be interested in joining our news team for the summer, or the fall, please encourage them to send a resume and three writing clips to Senior Editor Emily Henry at emilyhenry@southlareport.com

Additionally, we are also seeking ever-green and relevant news stories for publication, which is a great way for students to build their clips! Please encourage students to submit their work to southla@usc.edu. We will review all pieces that have a basis in the South L.A. area or cover a topic of interest to our audience.

Internships are unpaid, although a stipend may be available at the end of the summer depending on the quality of reporting.
Freelance submissions are unpaid, although feature and investigative pieces may qualify for compensation.

We look forward to working with the Students of Cal State Long Beach!

Please feel free to contact Emily Henry at emilyhenry@southlareport.com if you have any questions.

Best wishes,

The South Los Angeles Report
