An international journalism internship in Singapore takes place at media organizations like newspaper publications, magazine publications, digital media agencies, broadcast media houses like TV or radio, etc. The internship is designed to give you exposure to the usual tasks of a journalist, such as creating and managing engaging content to be published or broadcast, investigating and researching news stories, conducting interviews, managing social media channels of the company, preparing press releases, developing scripts, etc. An International journalism internship in Singapore effectively puts you in the shoes of a journalist, meaning all the work that you’ll do and all the experience you’ll get in the process would be very much real-like.

Media is a major industry in Singapore, and is spread across areas like print, publishing, digital and IT media, and broadcasting. There is a good presence of both local and foreign media in the country.

There is some censorship imposed by the government on the local media content produced as well as on the media content that’s available from abroad. Despite of the governmental regulations governing the mass media industry, the industry has a lot of learning to offer in terms of practicing international journalism.
