INTERNSHIP: JOURNALISM 2017

Our Journalism internship is practicalà­-based and you, as an intern, will supply articles written in English for a local Thai newspaper every other week. You will be required to write articles and reports about local events, interesting developments going on in the area and so on. This unique experience will enable you to utilize your theoretical knowledge and training, previously gained by long hours in a classroom, in practice in the field. This opportunity is open for those interested in journalism and writing who wish to develop their skills while at the same time contribute to society and spend some time overseas. This internship collaborates directly with local Thai newspapers for which the articles and reports need to be written based on careful research and reports in the field. Our internship provides study­affiliated and international work experience, practical skills training, knowledge accumulation and teamwork skills while at the same time making a worthwhile contribution to the community and organization. Your work will be coordinated by an English­speaking local with an established background in journalism. The coordinator will guide, supervise and assess you. Moreover, the coordinator will help out with the language barriers that may exist among local partners. Cultural Introduction Not only will we guide you during your internship, but we will also introduce you into the local culture and customs. After all, you will be spending quite some time here and it is important to know about your surroundings! During the first week, you will take part in an introduction/culture program where you will learn about the local culture, language and customs through activities such as cooking lessons, local handcraft making and excursions to iconic places. Our programs are designed to immerse you as much as possible with local people and culture and to encourage cultural exchange between teammates to let you fully integrate you in your new surroundings. The Green Lion internships are set up to serve the needs of the intern as well as those of the host. Our primary objectives are: to help you gain as much experience possible in your study field through practical work and the second is to help you create work that will be valuable and beneficial to the organization as well as the local community. All in all, our internships are designed in a way where everyone gets benefited and only meaningful work is done!
