Broad Media Journalism Internship 2026/2027 - Job Description
Introduction
Broad Media is offering a paid journalism internship at its Centurion offices, and the numbers are worth noting: three months, full time, R20,000 per month. The programme is open to anyone who graduates this year or has recently graduated and genuinely enjoys news and writing. You do not need a journalism degree. Law, commerce, arts and even engineering graduates are all encouraged to apply.
For many graduates, digital media feels like a closed door unless you studied journalism or already have a portfolio. This internship is built to open it. It places you in a working newsroom, gives you structured training and offers a route to a permanent journalist position if you complete it successfully. If you read the news daily and can write clearly, it deserves a closer look.
About the Company
Broad Media is described as South Africa's leading online media company. It owns and runs several of the country's biggest news websites and podcasts, including BusinessTech, MyBroadband, TopAuto, Daily Investor, What's Next, Business Talk and Smart Money. Its editorial teams cover business, finance, technology, motoring and general news. The company says it offers a good working environment, competitive pay and room to grow, and its head office is in Centurion, Gauteng. Visit the Broad Media website to see its brands and careers.
Responsibilities
This round's advert does not break the job into a task list, but earlier Broad Media adverts for the same programme describe the work: learning to cover the latest news, producing articles and features, and sub-editing content for publication, all while receiving training. A January 2026 Broad Media advert for new graduates adds that writers cover general news, business and technology stories. Over the three months, expect to:
• Research and write news stories for one of the company's websites.
• Produce longer features once you have found your feet.
• Sub-edit copy for accuracy, clarity and style.
• Work with editors who review and sharpen your writing.
• Build a portfolio of published work that you can show future employers.
The internship is full time and based in the Centurion office, so plan your transport and accommodation before you apply.
Required Qualifications
The advert keeps the requirements short, which makes them easy to check:
• English as a first language, with excellent English writing ability.
• A degree, which does not need to be in journalism.
You should also be a recent graduate or graduating this year. Because the selection depends heavily on writing, spend time on the written part of your application. Choose clear, short sentences, avoid jargon and proofread twice. If you have a blog, student newspaper articles, opinion pieces or any published writing, include links. If you do not, write a short news-style story about a recent event and attach it as a sample, making sure the facts are correct. Strong candidates also follow the publications they want to join, so read BusinessTech and MyBroadband for a week before applying and note the style of their headlines and opening paragraphs.
Job Benefits and Perks
The headline benefit is the pay: R20,000 per month for three months in a full-time position. That is well above typical stipends for graduate internships, and it is paid for work that results in published articles. Earlier Broad Media adverts mention training during the programme and a certificate for people who complete it, though this advert does not repeat that detail. The advert also states that a permanent journalist position may be offered to candidates who complete the internship successfully. That is an opportunity, not a guarantee, so treat each week as a working interview.
How to Apply
Apply through the Broad Media careers page. No closing date is given, so apply as soon as your documents and writing sample are ready.
Keep your CV to two pages at most and put your degree, graduation year and any writing experience near the top. Add a brief motivation explaining why you want to work in digital media and which beats interest you, such as business, technology or general news. Proofread everything, because a journalism employer will notice errors immediately. Use only the official Broad Media careers page, and do not pay any person or agency for a spot.
