Intern position at the AFL Multicultural Program

The AFL multicultural program wanted increased exposure to its work at VFL/TAC Cup and community levels and were on the lookout for an intern - an independent and driven journalism student, preferably in his/her last year. I pointed them in the direction of the RMIT journalism program, where I taught for six years from 2006-2012, and in particular my former colleague and good friend Alex Wake who is in charge of work placements there. 

The program sought a student with his or her own car and equipment, a strong background in video journalism, for one day a week for 6 months plus ten days in July in Sydney covering national championships (all expenses paid).

This was a fantastic opportunity for someone with an interest in sport, social media and multicultural affairs as well as social capacity building. They encouraged students from a multicultural background (i.e. born overseas or one parent born overseas). Look forward to seeing the work produced by the successful applicant.
