Editors will train interns on such areas as interview techniques, sourcing, databases and AP style. Interns will be expected to become familiar with – and abide by – the AP’s statement of values and principles governing ethics.
Staff photographers will supervise interns on visual storytelling techniques.

Interns will assist in the production of video stories, including non-linear editing and writing story summaries and scripts for broadcast.
