Reporter Video Student Intern, Summer 2026

The Athletic is accepting applications for its Leon H. Carter Internship Program for Summer 2026! The Reporter Video Student Intern will be a vital member of the team, assisting in producing and independently editing video stories featuring The Athletic’s reporters. The intern will also work across teams, including working with highlights and social video. A solid background in video editing and visual journalism is required, as well as an interest in all sports The Athletic covers. This is not an on camera position. This is a remote internship that may require some travel to New York City. Candidates based in New York City have the option of working on-site in the New York office. Work with video producers and editors to put together engaging stories from The Athletic’s reporters in the field. Follow The Athletic’s style guide and formats to produce content. Train reporters on best practices for filming video on their phones and guide them through the production process. Edit footage from reporters into compelling stories with clear narratives. Work closely with the Video Design team to deliver compelling, on-brand graphics that elevate our video content. Collaborate with the Thumbnails Design team on ongoing research and experimentation to produce engaging imagery that maximizes audience engagement and click-through performance.
