2026 Summer Reporting Intern – Burlington Free Press (Burlington, VT)

Join us in a great summertime city as a reporting intern with the Burlington Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network. We’re hosting a full-time, paid 10-week internship this summer for a college student or recent graduate.

You’ll be treated as a staff member in our small Vermont newsroom, working closely with an editor as you cut your teeth on local journalism. We’re especially interested in people who can bring journalistic sensibilities to the vertical video format. If you’re ambitious and resourceful, you’ll get the chance to rack up clips of all kinds and grow as a storyteller with on-the-ground reporting skills. And if you’ve got a particular beat or project in mind, we can talk about how to best put your talents and interests to work.

The people in our newsroom care about craft, and you can expect to learn how to write in a way that prizes accuracy, brevity, clarity and flair. We also want you to walk away a more discerning consumer of information you see online, read in a group chat or hear at a holiday dinner table. You’ll get a stage to develop and showcase your skills in a state that values local news (and is one of the best outdoors destinations around). This is an in-person role in Burlington, but schedules are often hybrid.
