To thrive as a Newsroom Assistant, you need strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a background in journalism or communications, often supported by a relevant degree or internship experience. Familiarity with newsroom software, content management systems, and digital publishing tools is typically required. Excellent time management, adaptability, and strong communication skills help you efficiently support editorial staff and respond to fast-changing priorities. These abilities are crucial for ensuring smooth newsroom operations and timely delivery of accurate news content.

As a Newsroom Assistant, your daily responsibilities often include organizing schedules, managing communications, and assisting with research for upcoming stories. You'll help maintain newsroom calendars, support reporters and producers with administrative tasks, and sometimes handle basic editing or fact-checking. This role is essential for ensuring the newsroom runs smoothly and deadlines are met, often requiring you to multitask and adapt quickly to breaking news or shifting priorities. Collaboration with journalists, editors, and technical staff is a key aspect, providing exposure to various aspects of news production and offering a strong foundation for future growth in journalism.

What is a newsroom assistant?

NATIONAL FFA CONVENTION & EXPO NEWSROOM VIDEO EDITOR INTERNSHIP

National FFA Organization

Indianapolis, IN • On-site

Internship

Re-posted 4 days ago

Job description

Description:

The National FFA Organization is seeking college students or recent college graduates pursuing degrees in media and production, agricultural communications, telecommunications, or a closely related field to share with the world the stories coming out of the 99th National FFA Convention & Expo, which runs from Oct. 19-24, 2026, in Indianapolis.


The FFA Newsroom Video Editor Intern will gain inside access to one of the largest conventions in the country; experience a fast-paced working newsroom; receive edit coaching from professional editors and have the opportunity to build their portfolio with news and social stories distributed to a potential audience of more than a million people, including the organization’s 1,027,273+ members.


This intern is expected to arrive in Indianapolis on Monday, Oct. 19 and work a minimum 10-hour shift daily from Tuesday, Oct. 20, through Saturday, Oct. 24. The National FFA will cover travel expenses, including airfare and hotel, provide all meals from Monday upon arrival to Saturday, and offer a $500 project stipend.


This internship may be eligible for college credit. Please consult with your school’s advisor.

Requirements:

More than 70,000 National FFA members, advisors and supporters from across the nation will convene in Indianapolis for the organization’s premier event of the year, the 99th National FFA Convention & Expo. Members come to compete, find personal and career inspiration, meet fellow members from across the country, and grow as leaders. Advisors, alumni and corporate partners come to support student members in their growth.


Your job will be to work with the newsroom journalists to edit newsroom stories that will play on the FFA Live! streaming broadcast and the organization’s website and social media channels.


The editor intern is expected to work on stories as assigned each day.


Examples of newsroom journalist stories from last year’s national convention can be viewed here:


  • Behind the Scenes With Student Reporters
  • Putting Passion Into Action With Meals on Wheels
  • The 2024 American Star Winners are SAE Superstars
  • Student Engagement and Travel Assistant Grants Remove Barriers
  • Career Demonstration Explores Unexpected Opportunities


Your work is likely to be published in a variety of ways, including through the convention live stream, FFA media partners, FFA.org, @nationalffa social media platforms, local and national media, and the organization’s national magazine, FFA New Horizons. Interns will leave the experience with a strong portfolio of work.


Desired skills include professionalism and at least two years of experience shooting video on DSLR cameras. Experience with Panasonic GH6/7 is a bonus. While you do not have to be a current or former FFA member, agricultural studies major, or well-versed in agriculture or National FFA, prior experience and knowledge of the industry or organization is a bonus.


Interns must be able to navigate the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium to conduct interviews and create content, which may involve extended periods of walking, standing, and carrying equipment.


Application Deadline: Saturday, Aug. 1, 2026. However, please note that applicants will be reviewed and interviewed on a rolling basis, and the positions may be filled prior to Aug. 1.
