Introduction

Being the second-largest country in South America and in fact, one of the largest countries in the world, Argentina offers a multitude of experiences to the intrepid visitor and a never-ending stream of tourists descend on the country each year to experience the magic cocktail of tango, futbol, gauchos, stunning landscapes, colonial heritage cities, sizzling steaks and the famous Argentine passion for life. A Latin American power-house, it never fails to impress. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the capital Buenos Aires, affectionately described as the Paris of the South where Porteos (as the inhabitants are called) will welcome you in their very own, unique way. A little on the gritty side, but once you get under their skin, so will the city get under yours.

This internship offers you the chance to experience living and working in this intriguing metropolis and truly get to know Argentina from within, while sharing your talent and skills with local businesses and at the same time, developing and enhancing those skills to prepare you for a professional journalism career. You will be placed with the team of an online travel and multimedia website aimed at expats and travellers residing in Argentina.

The website you will be working with receives thousands of visitors each day, consuming the English-language publications. It is a young and vibrant company with an innovative and creative work environment.

As a part of them team, you will be tasked with covering current events and news stories related to Argentina and Argentine culture. You will be both writing and editing articles on a daily basis, giving you a chance to polish and perfect your writing style. You will also practise reading and analysing national news and media outlets within Argentina. This is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside established journalists and writers from a very unique international perspective.
