Internships

Internships with the National Sports Media Association were created to benefit both the student (with practical work experience and college credit) and the NSMA. Internships are unpaid; students may or may not receive college credit, depending on the institution. Internships can be either part-time or full-time (full-time preferred); however, an intern must commit to a minimum of eight (8) hours per week during the internship.

Internships are available for the following periods:

• Fall semester
• Winter break
• Spring semester
• Summer

Duties may include, but not be limited to:

• Assisting NSMA staff with data entry;
• Cataloging and organizing sports media museum exhibits;
• Creating/updating databases;
• Creating marketing materials;
• Creating and updating NSMA social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube)
• Helping with NSMA events;
• Interacting with NSMA members and staff;
• Writing news releases;
• Preparing brochures, newsletters, e-blasts, e-mails;
• Organizing and collating mailings;
• Developing/editing original content (written, audio, video) and uploading it to nationalsportsmedia.org website;
• General office work.

Interns are expected to:

• Show up (on time) for their scheduled hours. An internship should be treated as a ‘real’ job;
• Call to inform NSMA staff when late or sick;
• Conduct themselves professionally. Dress is business casual, unless otherwise instructed;
• Ask questions! It’s the best way to learn.
