WEXO is a great place to start looking for this experience. They have lots of opportunities that I’d definately recommend you have a look at, here are just two to get you started:

1. Tixdaq: “Tixdaq.com is the UK’s leading ticket search engine” (http://bit.ly/cb7BrR)

Tixdaq is looking for someone to assist the team in ensuring a smooth day-to-day running of the website. As well as helping to maintain high levels of quality control on the site, you will also have the opportunity to write editorial content. This will include writing news stories and assisting the editorial team.

2. Strategy Eye: “StrategyEye is a business development utility providing strategic intelligence and consulting services to executive teams involved in the digital media and clean technology industries. Clients include Amazon, the BBC, BSkyB, Microsoft, Vodafone, Philips, Enel and Deutsche Bank.” (http://bit.ly/3KFoYg)

Journalistic experience is not necessary but you will need good English writing skills, an analytical mind and plenty of initiative and willingness to learn. These paid internships are based in our Strand Office, London, and there may be future opportunities within the company for the right people.

If you are considering a career in journalism it is also worth thinking about getting some experience with a PR agency. Journalists often spend a large amount of time speaking to people in PR and it’s always good to see things from the other side of the fence.

There are numerous PR opportunities currently listed on WEXO. For example, Halpern PR have recently been looking for an account executive. Check out our website to find out more.
