Students Invited To Reykjavík For Media Internships

If you’re a student looking to gain experience of the media, perhaps you’d like to join us for an internship in Reykjavík.

The Reykjavík Grapevine is Iceland’s leading English-language publication, covering arts and culture, music, society, travel and much more. Interns are an integral part of our small team, joining us at our Reykjavík office and getting involved in all that we do.

The Reykjavík Grapevine comprises our flagship monthly print magazine, a quarterly city guide, a burgeoning YouTube channel and an online shop. So this is a great opportunity to experience a busy publishing operation encompassing magazine production, photography, and podcast and video content creation. And cuddling lambs (subject to availability).

Brittnee Kiner—on the right above, with fellow intern and lamb-cuddler Alina Maurer—completed her programme with us in early 2021. She says: “Interning at the Reykjavík Grapevine was an incredible opportunity to write alongside professional journalists. I got the chance to author travel articles, and I co-presented a news video at a volcano while it was erupting! I am so grateful for the chance to pursue my passion in such a positive, encouraging environment.”

We are open to internships which span any or all of our areas of activity, and we invite you to express which ones interest you when you apply.

These internships are intended to form part of a student’s existing higher education study programme, or an experiential programme such as Erasmus. Labour regulations in Iceland allow the Grapevine to accept interns from accredited schools within the European Economic Area.
