Vacancy: reporting intern, PS or arts at the Het Parool editorial office

Het Parool is offering full-time, three-month writing internships in Amsterdam for students interested in local reporting or arts and culture journalism. Interns will operate as full members of the editorial team, pitching their own stories and working closely with experienced staff.

Het Parool is seeking journalism interns for its Amsterdam-based newsroom for full-time placements lasting at least three months. The internship offers two distinct tracks: one focused on local reporting, covering daily news and city developments, and another dedicated to the arts and lifestyle section, which explores culture, entertainment, and human-interest stories. Regardless of the chosen track, interns will participate in editorial meetings, pitch their own stories, and work alongside experienced journalists to develop their professional skills.

Candidates must be students in vocational or higher education programs with a strong command of the Dutch language and a genuine interest in city affairs. The position includes a monthly stipend of 400 euros and provides an opportunity to contribute directly to the newspaper's print and digital platforms. Interested applicants are encouraged to submit a CV, cover letter, and writing samples to the stage coordinator at Het Parool.
