Intern experience
What will you do as a Washington Post intern? Let’s start with what you won’t do: You won’t just “shadow” reporters, and you most definitely will not get coffee for people! Instead, you’ll be a Washington Post journalist creating videos, graphics and stories that will be read and viewed by millions of Washington Post subscribers.
