Journalism Internships in Cape Town
South Africa is highly regarded for its active and independent media. Cape Town is an excellent place for journalism interns, since it is home to several big publishing houses and media outlets, as well as a number of radio stations (including a healthy community radio sector) and both a private TV channel and community TV channel. We can facilitate a range of journalism internships including opportunities at newspapers, magazines, online publications and community television and radio talk shows. In addition, we can also facilitate unique “journalist in residence” positions within our wide network of nonprofit organizations. Past Connect-123 program participants have frequently had their work published.
