Project Summary

What is the Journalism Internship in Morocco all about?

During your placement, you will be supporting a local news agency with a global outreach to the Moroccan international community. The online publication appeals to high level individuals with links to Morocco and has a mission to report Moroccan and MENA news in English without bias or a political agenda. The newspaper is read by 15,000 to 20,000 individuals daily with the objective to address the international community on political, economical and societal issues. Freedom of speech, democracy, transparency and integrity are at the core of what they do. The publication is the only one of its kind in Morocco and is keeping afloat through private individuals’ funding and interns’ time who believe in the value of being impartial and speaking the truth about issues affecting the region while experiencing first hand contemporary Morocco of today’s world. Interns are a great way for the agency to get the resources and hands-on they need. Especially as they lack resources in the area of editing, photojournalism, research, social media amongst others. The agency is looking to secure its leadership role as news agent in Morocco and enhance its visibility, so your help will be much needed.


Why choose Journalism Internship in Morocco?

Whether you are studying or recently graduated, anyone with an interest in either journalism, photography, video creation and editing, marketing, or social media would be a great fit for the need of the project. You may also have a background in political science or international business or even environmental issues. If that’s the case this internship will give you the opportunity to research topics and write about them. During this placement, you will gain if you don’t already have it, a knowledge of Morocco and the Arab/Amazigh culture. You may also be interested in editing or gaining experience in that area. Regardless of where your interest lay, it will be a very gratifying experience that will enrich you personally and your resume / c.v.

This project also gives you the opportunity to add on Arabic or French classes at an additional cost to improve your language skills. Please speak to your advisor if interested so this can be arranged in advance of your placement.


Role of the Journalist Intern

Depending on your interest, the internship offers a variety of placements. If you are interested in journalism, you will be investigating and reporting on events and news as they happen. If your interest lay in social media, you all have the opportunity to assist with social media pages and groups including Facebook, Linked, Twitter and Instagram including the development and maintenance of their social media strategy. The news agency could also use someone interested in video/picture editing. You may be asked to help deepen their digital media planning and online marketing as well as research the current digital trends.

No matter what you choose, you will gain first-hand experience working with an international news agency and get acquainted with the mechanism of operating a news agency appealing to the international community. You may also gain some editing experience depending on the needs of the agency at the time of your internship.
