This is Nine’s fifth round of internships, giving participants hands-on experience in radio production, broadcasting, journalism and social media.
Tom Malone, Managing Director of Nine Radio, said:
“The volume and quality of applications continues to increase with each round of the program, which shows the next generation understands the value and strength of live and local talk radio, and they are excited to be part of its future.”
Former intern, Juliet Rayner, said:
“In pursuing an internship with 2GB, I was awarded a safe space to learn and grow, whilst also being paid – a very rare opportunity in the Australian media landscape. While I moved between teams weekly, I had constant contact with my supervisor, who ensured I was connected to the new team and had all the information I needed before starting each week. I never once felt like my role was to grab coffees or sit quietly in the corner. I was encouraged and given incredible opportunities for continued work with 2GB which I am very grateful for.”
Applications close on 18 August, with successful applicants commencing in mid-September.
