As a foreign student whose native language is not English, you have to focus on your other strengths to get the internships you want, according to French-born MJ 2013 graduate, Kevin Cureau.
Finding a job or internship at a large media organisation is always a challenge, but recent graduate Grace Huang (MJ 2013) found that taking online journalism and reporting and writing classes really helped her build up her foundation.
Over the winter break, 40 graduate students from the Journalism and Media Studies Center participated in internships that immersed them in the day-to-day work of practicing journalists. Their experience included writing spot reports, drafting feature stories, and producing television and radio news for a variety of media outlets across the Asia region.
