Summer 2025 Internships

Houston Landing

Houston Landing is a nonprofit newsroom that covers vital issues in greater Houston without endorsing political parties or policies. Our content is free to read and republish, without subscription fees or paywalls. Our newsroom is passionate about reporting on Houston and Harris County, with a commitment to underserved communities. We report for, not on, the communities we cover. We live and spend time in these spaces and cultivate the relationship with our neighbors with events, listening sessions and more. 

The Rice University intern at the Houston Landing will work on a longer project on the impact heat has on health in Houston with the environment and public safety team.

Among the duties are: 

• Go on assignments with reporters.
• Collaborate with the data team to research and analyze datasets. 
• Embed with the photo team and audience team to understand how the final story comes together every day. 

The Houston Landing will provide the intern with the time and resources to understand the ins and outs of the newsroom, including attending editorial meetings, and reporting meetings in the areas of education, government and diverse communities and immigration.

This position may consist of up to 20 hours per week for up to 12 weeks, and it may have a variable weekly schedule. The supervisor will work with the intern on a set of hours, weeks, and schedule depending on the Landing's and the student's needs and availability. This internship is primarily in-person but may have remote components.
