Overview
TYT Network’s Internship Program provides a unique learning opportunity for individuals interested in careers in digital media, marketing, social media, politics, production, business operations and other related fields. Interaction with fellow interns and professionals on staff will allow for the creation of valuable contacts for the future.

While we offer internships throughout the year, the majority of these internships will be available during the summer.  We are targeting current students for school credit and recent college graduates. Most summer internships are 20-30hrs/week and lasting approximately 12 weeks. School credit is strongly recommended with a letter of support from a school advisor.

This Program offers invaluable hands-on training and experience through participation in projects and assignments that allow for the practical application of academic knowledge and the development of business skills necessary for a career in digital media. Interns work side by side with professionals in such areas as production, editing, graphics, administration, public relations, social media, marketing and sales as they experience the day-to-day workings of the largest and fastest growing online news network in the world!

TYT Network is committed to providing a quality learning and training experience for its interns. This program is designed to provide not only practical training but also encouragement, inspiration, and role models for a new generation.

All interns will be compensated with a stipend of $750.00 at the end of the program. Participation in the Program is not an offer of future employment.  For those interested in full time positions, they are encouraged to apply and will be given fair consideration for all open positions.
