Finding internships

May 22, 2026 · 29 min

Show notes

Finding a job in media is tough enough in 2026, but finding an internship or placement can be even harder. On this episode I share advice and guidance on how to handle the search and how to maximise the experience. Joining me to discuss this and ask questions are two students hoping for a career in journalism; Eliska Janska and Renata Pernegrova.


If you are looking to land your first job in media or advance your career, then follow The Media Mentor online and on socials. Each day I share jobs and advice about media careers and I also offer one-to-one sessions if you're feeling stuck or lost. If you're concerned about your CV or need help with cover letters and interviews - then mentoring sessions are available via the website.


There are also 6 pages of media jobs to browse and a WhatsApp channel for job alerts.


If you have any questions about media careers or a story that you would like to share about job hunting, then please get in touch.

More details about The Media Mentor can be found here.
