Buffalo’s Fire is launching a paid monthlong internship program beginning June 1 for students in tribal communities who are interested in independent media. This is a remote or hybrid position, depending on the successful candidates’ circumstances. Buffalo’s Fire is based in Bismarck.
The 20-hour-per-week internship provides a rare opportunity to learn about and participate in nearly every aspect of running a non-profit media organization. Interns will move between departments at Buffalo’s Fire, spending a week at a time shadowing a specific team member. They will gain experience in social media, audience development, community engagement, fundraising and editorial tasks related to local news and our coverage of the 150th commemoration of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. They will also have the opportunity to produce an article on the commemoration.
The internship is available to one high school student, who will earn $14 per hour, and one tribal college student, who will earn $18 per hour.
