Whether you are already working as a journalist or contemplating journalism as a career or study option, our international journalism internships in Bolivia offer you the chance to gain some fantastic work experience abroad while living in one of the most vibrant countries in Latin America.
Interning abroad on our Print Journalism internships not only gets you an insider's view of how publications are run; they also give you the chance to put together a portfolio of work. Alternatively, a radio internship offers the opportunity to gain broadcasting or production experience abroad.
Whichever internship you choose, you will gain insight into the workings of the international media in a new cultural and political setting. Ultimately, you will gain invaluable international experience that will increase your prospects in a highly competitive job market.
海外インターンシップ：ボリビアでジャーナリズムインターン
Interns participating on a print journalism internship in Bolivia work on the 'Cocha-Banner', a monthly English language newspaper. This was established by Projects Abroad following on from the success of the 'Sivakasi Times' in India.
The Cocha-Banner is distributed for free within the city of Cochabamba and covers a variety of topics: from news and current affairs to features and reviews. The newspaper gives the people of Cochabamba the chance to learn about local topics and state their opinions, while at the same time practicing English. It also gives organizations and other local groups the opportunity to 'spread the word' about the work they do.
Working alongside a local journalist, you will be given a range of responsibilities; everything from researching stories and interviewing people to writing articles and editing. You can also design layouts and get involved in various aspects of producing the publication. There are contributions by students from Cochabamba University, so you could get involved with editing, proofreading or even translating Spanish articles written by them, if you're up to it!
There are always lots of things going on in and around Cochabamba, so you will never be short of stories. Whether you are reporting on a strike, interviewing a local politician or attending a function, your knowledge of Bolivia and its people will grow along with your confidence.
This is a fantastic opportunity to get involved with this pioneering publication, learning about many aspects of journalism, all while experiencing life in this vibrant Bolivian city.
This international journalism internship with the Cocha-Banner is also available for two weeks if you don't have time to join us for a month or more. This project has been selected by our local colleagues as being suitable for short term volunteer work abroad for both the host community and the volunteer. Although you will gain a valuable cultural insight and work intensely within the local community please be aware that you may not be able to make the same impact as someone volunteering for a longer period. The Cocha-Banner is a monthly publication so by joining the project for two weeks you may not be at the internship when the edition is printed.
ボリビアで放送ジャーナリズムインターンシップ
Radio Del Valle is based just 10 minutes from the Projects Abroad Bolivia office on Avenida Salamanca in the Edificio Fundes. Dr. Antonio Revollo, the owner of the radio station, is eager to welcome interns.
The radio station broadcasts 24 hours per day and has three staff members. The station plays music and broadcasts sports events, youth programs and news.
Interns can get involved in the following activities:
- Learning about production by assisting with the technical activities taking place in the production booth
- Researching stories by traveling around the city and possibly nearby villages for stories, which are then written and broadcast live on the air
- Conducting interviews with local people or groups
- Participating in discussion shows
We can place up to two interns at a time at Radio del Valle. For our radio internship interns need an intermediate level of Spanish. The radio station broadcasts only in Spanish and you need to be confident reading articles and compiling your own stories in order to get the most from the internship.
