    Job description

    Location: Salt Lake City, Utah - Hybrid

    About the Tribune

    The Salt Lake Tribune has been Utah’s independent voice since 1871. The Tribune is a nonprofit newsroom, meaning our journalism is not driven by shareholder demands or corporate interests. We are committed to independent, public-service journalism centered on Utah communities.

    Today, we continue to expand our reach across Utah through innovative reporting, strong community engagement and new local initiatives. We’re seeking a Reporting Intern to join our team and help advance this mission.

    The Role

    As a Reporting Intern, you'll gain hands-on newsroom experience by reporting stories that matter to Utah communities while learning the fundamentals of professional news production. This is a 10-12 week paid internship with some flexibility depending on an applicant's school schedule. Our interns fill a variety of roles in the newsroom and your assignment may include night or weekend work. The position is hourly and non-benefitted. The position can be structured as full-time, or we're happy to accommodate a 20-30 hour-per-week schedule if that works better with you academic commitments. We provide evaluations and assessments of interns' performance should they be required for school credit.

    What You'll Do:

    • Pitch, report, and write stories for sltrib.com and print editions
    • Assist with breaking news coverage and quick-turn stories
    • Conduct interviews, gather documents, and perform basic research
    • Collaborate with editors to revise and strengthen stories
    • Contribute ideas during team meetings and participate in newsroom discussions
    • Follow ethical journalism standards and The Tribune's reporting guidelines

    Compensation & Benefits

    • Competitive pay of $20.00 an hour
    • Flexible hours
    • Hybrid work options
    • Mileage reimbursement when applicable

    Why Join Us

    This is more than a job - it's an opportunity to learn from experienced journalists, build a strong portfolio, and make meaningful contributions to news coverage in Utah. Your work will directly support The Tribune's mission to serve Utahns for the next 150 years.

    The Salt Lake Tribune is an inclusive employer. We're committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve, and we strongly encourage people of all backgrounds to apply.
