    Project Summary

    What is this Journalism Internship Programme all about?

    The Journalism Internship in Ghana is made for you whether you are interested in editing, copywriting, reporting, interviewing or researching. As a journalism intern, you will work alongside some of Ghana’s leading journalists and reporters who will provide you with some guidance during your placement.

    During your Journalism Internship in Ghana, you will have the opportunity to work in a number of newspapers, radio stations and TV networks depending on your interest. This placement is best for aspiring reports and media professionals that have experience in the industry but would like to experience journalism in a different context. We offer a variety of journalism internships from researching for a local paper to being a half-time analyst for football matches.

    Because Kaya is community driven, the placement also involves schools and sports academies to teach classes in media, creative writing and the basics of journalism. Therefore, this will give you the chance to engage fully with the local community and give back and aspire to some of Ghana’s most ambitious youngsters.


    Why choose this Journalism Internship programme in Ghana?

    • Broaden your experience within your journalism skills and expertise.
    • Get an understanding of what it’s like to work in a developing country.
    • Participate in a mutually beneficial cultural exchange and contribute to the local community

    Role of the Journalism Intern

    During the Journalism Internship in Ghana, you will be provided with new and valuable experience for your future career while supporting the media industry in Ghana. That said, the internship is a great opportunity to engage with the community on different levels as you may be asked to share what you know one day with students in regards to their school newspapers, or be sent on interview around the community.


    What skills do I need to be a Journalist Intern in Ghana?

    This Journalism Internship placement is intended for participants who are currently seeking or already have experience in the industry. As a result, you need to be self-motivated and flexible as well as open to working with a variety of local resources. As you will be traveling to Ghana, it is also a requirement that you must have a yellow fever vaccination and must obtain a certificate as proof. You will be asked to show this certificate upon entry and will be denied if you don’t have one.

    The Location

    Where will I work in Ghana?

    About the Location

    Your Journalism Internship in Ghana is located in a Coastal Suburb of Accra. Accra being the capital and largest city in Ghana, is very busy with lots to do with a population of over two million.

    What to do in your spare time

    During your free time, you will be able to explore Accra City Centre as it is close enough to sites of interests like the famous Kwame Nkrumah National Park, the National Museum of Ghana, the craft markets, and many others. For those wanted to venture further, Cape Coast, Elmina and the Volta region are all areas accessible by bus shall you want to see more of Ghana.
