ISP interns spend a week with veteran reporters and a camera crew as they film a series of interviews, then spend six weeks working remotely on a single story. Working as a team under the guidance of ISP advisers, they conduct research, interview experts, and discuss their findings in story meetings.

This year, our interns are working on "Segmented Medicine," a look at how some hospitals have started determining their patients' level of care according to their likelihood of donating money to those hospitals. "Segmented medicine" has become widespread across the country, and we'll be taking a close look at how it's affected healthcare in Louisiana.

The ISP summer internship is a paid, full-time position. 

Applicants must be juniors or seniors, and must have taken the spring XCOR course "Investigating New Orleans."

The internship's week of film production takes place in New Orleans. Housing, transportation, and on-set meals are provided and paid for by the ISP. 

After film production, interns will work remotely, and can be based anywhere.

Some internships include the option to continue part-time in the fall.
