Karnataka Media Academy invites applications for journalism internships
The Karnataka Media Academy has invited applications from journalism graduates and postgraduates for a two-month internship programme under its women’s budget initiative. Academy Chairperson Ayesha Khanum said 20 candidates will be selected for the programme. Applicants must have completed a degree or postgraduate degree in journalism during the academic years 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25 or 2025-26.
Selected candidates will be placed in various media organisations and receive a stipend. Applications must include a curriculum vitae and supporting documents submitted through the academy’s Google Form. The last date for submission is 23 October. A committee constituted by the academy will make the final selection.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The internship programme channels state funds directly toward early-career journalists, a rare targeted placement scheme rather than a generic grant. Its eligibility window, graduates from the last four academic years, narrows the applicant pool to recent entrants, which may limit applications from older or mid-career journalists. The committee-based final selection leaves the criteria undisclosed, introducing a discretionary element applicants cannot anticipate. With an October 23 deadline and 20 seats, the programme will test how many qualified candidates the academy attracts within two weeks.
