NBC News & MSNBC Internships – Fall 2022
About Us :
NBCUniversal internships are true learning and growth opportunities that help set students up for an exciting future career in media. We are committed to developing early career talent, and we are focused on helping our interns realize their potential and their dreams.
NBCU interns are a diverse and curious community of innovators and trailblazers. They bring their passion for media, entertainment, and technology along with their desire to learn each day. They contribute to our vast and diverse portfolio of businesses in hands-on ways that matter. We provide a program full of opportunities for professional development, leadership exposure, connection, networking, and fun.
While we continuously monitor COVID-19 and its impact, we plan to host fall internships in both a virtual and in-person format. Opportunities listed will either be in-person (requiring an intern to work from an NBCU office location 16-24 hours per week) based on the location mentioned or virtual, depending on business needs. For certain positions there might be an opportunity for interns to participate throughout the entirety of the academic year. These particular opportunities and their dates will be confirmed during the interview process.
