Online Learning Intern
The Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas in the School of Journalism at UT Austin is looking for an online learning intern for Summer 2021.

The intern's primary contact will be Mallary Tenore, associate director of the Knight Center, who will check-in with the intern on a daily basis to layout tasks for the day and week ahead, and review jobs well-done and areas that need improvement. Interns will also be invited to weekly online learning meetings, where they'll be encouraged to share ideas related to courses.
