What does a data journalism intern do?

A Data Journalism Intern assists in researching, analyzing, and visualizing data to support news stories and investigative reports. They work closely with reporters and editors to uncover patterns, trends, and insights from datasets, often using tools like Excel, Python, or data visualization software. The role may also involve cleaning and verifying data, creating graphics, and learning how to present complex information clearly for the public. Interns gain hands-on experience in both journalism and data analysis, contributing to impactful, data-driven storytelling.
