Internships
Internships with the National Sports Media Association were created to benefit both the student (with practical work experience and college credit) and the NSMA. Internships are unpaid; students may or may not receive college credit, depending on the institution. Internships can be either part-time or full-time (full-time preferred); however, an intern must commit to a minimum of eight (8) hours per week during the internship.
Internships are available for the following periods:
- Fall semester
- Winter break
- Spring semester
- Summer
Duties may include, but not be limited to:
- Assisting NSMA staff with data entry;
- Cataloging and organizing sports media museum exhibits;
- Creating/updating databases;

- Creating and updating NSMA social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube)
- Helping with NSMA events;

Interns are expected to:
- Show up (on time) for their scheduled hours. An internship should be treated as a ‘real’ job;
