I’m delighted to announce that applications are open for Eurogamer’s third Summer Internship! Once again, we’re looking for a Reporter Intern to join us in a paid position in our Brighton office for three months – ideally from late June through to late September.
As is tradition, we’re launching the recruitment campaign with a panel discussion on getting into games journalism at EGX Rezzed in London today – right around the time you’re reading this, in fact.
This time last year, a student in her graduating year opened the Q&A section of that session by putting a particularly tough question to me. That student was Emma Kent, who went on to apply for the internship, secure it – and then at the end of the three months we hired her as a full-time reporter. So that worked out well!
There won’t necessarily be a full-time job on offer at the end of every internship, but we still think this is a great opportunity to learn the games journalist’s craft in our newsroom. The successful applicant will have opportunities to gain experience of every area of the site, but will be working particularly closely with news editor Tom Phillips and deputy editor Wesley Yin-Poole on reporting.
