Graphics

About the graphics reporting internship 
As a graphics reporter on the Daily Bruin, you will create visuals to tell stories. Have you ever seen an info-graphic in a magazine or a detailed schematic in a newspaper? That sort of content is produced by graphics reporters. The Graphics section is unique because it can accommodate many different backgrounds, since almost every division of the paper needs info-graphics. Statisticians, scientists, artists, designers and anyone with a passion for journalism has the potential to be an excellent graphics reporter. If you are accepted, you can look forward to training by a professional graphic artist from the Los Angeles Times, a highly knowledgeable staff to work alongside, and many dynamic additions to your portfolio.

Any student who applies to work for the Daily Bruin is applying for an internship. Not all applicants will be accepted. Those who are accepted are guaranteed an internship position at the Daily Bruin on the condition that they complete a series of training workshops. Training workshops are mandatory.

Deadlines and selection 
The application deadline for winter quarter has passed. Graphics reporting will recruit again spring quarter. If you'd like to apply, applications will be posted here in the first few weeks of spring quarter.


An important note on the workshops
The training workshops are led by a professional journalist and will give you basic theoretical and practical training. 
Please note: All interns must attend a set of mandatory workshops. No exceptions will be made. If you cannot attend a workshop or multiple workshops, your internship will be discontinued and you will have to reapply. If you need clarification, please see the media adviser, Amy Emmert. Questions about workshop attendance must be directed to Amy.

After the workshops 
Once you've completed the workshops, you will start working at the Daily Bruin as an intern. In time you could become a paid staffer.
