Houston Chronicle Visuals Internship
The Houston Chronicle is looking for motivated student journalists who plan to pursue a career in journalism for its summer 2025 internship program. Based in Texas, the Houston Chronicle is a Hearst newspaper in the nation's fourth largest city. Houston is also one of the country's most diverse cities.
Visual journalism interns will complete their internship on the visuals desk. Duties include producing visuals for news, sports, features and business as well as slice-of-life spot features. No two days on the visuals desk are the same, and interns will be expected to apply their skills to each assignment in a way that best shows each story.
Interns are responsible for the production of visuals, editing, writing captions and, if needed, some reporting. They are encouraged to visually tell stories beyond just photos (video, social media, etc.)
