Working within the South African media industry offers an opportunity of a lifetime for any media/communications student! South Africa is home to a highly active, outspoken media industry that take its role as the "fourth estate" quite seriously. During Apartheid, the government routinely censored media content if it contained any sympathies towards the anti-Apartheid movement. Today, freedom of press is alive and well in South Africa, and journalists regularly launch vocal opposition to controversial government practices. As an intern in our program, you will have the opportunity to work in this incredible environment while gaining invaluable international journalism experience. Cape Town, where our program is based, is also home to South African Parliament, so those interested in journalism of a political nature will enjoy the opportunity to cover South Africa's colorful political atmosphere. The South African magazine industry is located in the city of Cape Town and many internship opportunities exist at local publications such as outdoor magazines and travel guides.
