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 producing "The Divide," a look at how Interstate 10, America's only coast-to-coast highway, has helped build some communities and destroy others. We're also working on "Garbage Science," a study of how racial notions with no basis in science have influenced the development of current medical tools and practices.

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.
