Infostrada Sports internship opportunity...

Infostrada Sports is inviting applications of interest from your Communications, Journalism and Media students to become involved with our World Masters Games Event News Service team, through participating in our Biography Research Project internship.

A number of outstanding interns from the Biography Research Project will make the Event News Service Team, with the shortlist to be announced in the lead up to the 2009 World Masters Games.

The Event News Service is a Games-time operation aimed at assisting accredited media in covering the Games by providing a balanced, unbiased information service that includes news reports, press conference highlights and flash quotes.

Event News Service reporters will get to sharpen their basic reporting skills, learn to write breaking news, practice finding story angles under deadline pressure and get hands-on experience at interviewing athletes.

We are looking for interns who will receive training, and then during Gamestime will receive daily briefings and full support as they gather news items.

For the Games-time roles, all interns will need to have their own laptop and Infostrada Sports will provide expenses for those who can use their own car. All communication costs and meals will be provided. Unfortunately, no travel to Sydney or accommodation costs can be met due to the tight budgetary constraints of the project.

To find out how you can get involved with the Biography Research project, please submit a current resume in addition to a cover letter to Internship Coordinator, Hairul Sukaime at hairul.sukaime@infostradasports.com
