What is a data journalism internship?

A Data Journalism Internship is a role where interns learn to collect, analyze, and visualize data to support journalistic storytelling. Interns work with public datasets, statistics, and digital tools to uncover insights and create compelling narratives. Typical tasks include data scraping, fact-checking, and assisting in the production of data-driven articles. This internship helps build technical skills in data analysis software like Excel, Python, or SQL, as well as data visualization tools. It provides hands-on experience in investigative journalism and digital storytelling.

What types of projects or stories will a data journalism intern typically work on during the internship?

As a Data Journalism Intern, you'll often help identify, clean, and analyze large datasets to uncover trends and insights that inform news stories. You may be tasked with contributing to investigative reports, creating data visualizations, or assisting in fact-checking and verifying data-driven claims. Interns frequently collaborate with reporters, editors, and graphic designers to develop compelling, reader-friendly content. This hands-on experience provides a valuable introduction to the fast-paced world of digital journalism and prepares you for future roles in the field.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a data journalism internship, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Data Journalism Intern, you need a solid grounding in journalism principles, data analysis, and research, typically supported by coursework in journalism, statistics, or a related field. Familiarity with data visualization tools (such as Tableau or Flourish), spreadsheet software, and basic programming languages like Python or R is commonly expected. Strong curiosity, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you collaborate with editorial teams and translate complex data into compelling stories. These abilities are vital for uncovering meaningful insights, producing accurate reports, and engaging diverse audiences with data-driven journalism.

Job description

KSN is looking for an upper-level college student who is ready to jump into the world of TV news. We are looking for someone who has taken journalism classes and has some writing experience. Experience with collegiate TV production is not necessary, but great if you have it! Previous experience with print-based journalism also a plus.

After an initial training process, internship will have a specific focus of photojournalism (shooting and editing video), multi-media journalism (shooting and editing video, writing stories for broadcast and digital) and/or producing newscasts (editing video, stacking newscasts, writing for broadcast and digital) based on the skills and experience of the individual intern. Some sports coverage is expected for those who shoot and edit video (focusing on high school football). Position is for the 2026 Summer Semester, located in Wichita, Kansas, and will remain open until filled. There is no "normal" schedule in a newsroom, so expect to work odd hours, including weekends, early mornings, or evenings. We will coordinate your class schedule with your weekly internship schedule. We have hired some of our previous rock-star interns for full-time work - this is a great way to get your foot in the door!
