Students, if you’re an experienced writer and looking for a paid internship, BU Today would like to hear from you.
We have openings for general assignment writing interns for the summer as well as for the 2025-2026 academic year. In addition, we have an opening for a sports intern starting in September. Candidates should have strong writing skills and must have previous journalism experience (published clips are required).
For summer, we have both part-time (15-20 hours) and full-time (35 hours) positions. For the academic year, we’re looking for students who can work 10 to 12 hours a week and make a yearlong commitment.
Responsibilities include pitching and writing stories about student life (including arts, fashion, lifestyle, and sports) as well as research. Among additional responsibilities are writing our weekly Weekender series, updating our Neighborhood series, helping staff writers with background research, transcribing audio, closed-captioning videos, and assisting with breaking news stories. Sports intern responsibilities include game previews and coverage as well as feature reporting and profiles.
The deadline for applying is Tuesday, March 25.
To apply for summer and fall internships, send your résumé, writing clips (published stories only, no class assignments, please), and two to three references to Sophie Yarin at syarin@bu.edu. Be sure to indicate whether you’re interested in a summer or 2025-2026 academic year internship, or both.
