Gap Year Research: Journalism Placement in Mexico

Gap Year Research: Journalism Placement in Mexico

Journalism placements in Mexico

Our journalism placements in Mexico are based at various newspapers, TV stations, radio stations and websites. Our placements are tailored to your experience, interests and level of Spanish. For those with basic or no Spanish you will be working on publications and websites serving the English speaking populations of Puerto Vallarta or Guadalajara.

Both have sizeable populations of English speaking expatriates, mainly from the USA, as well as a large seasonal population of tourists. A large amount of media is dedicated to serving this population. Therefore, the topics covered are wide ranging.

The focus of the media varies, mainly focussing on local activities and issues. However, the media also covers culture & history, economics, health & science, sports, as well as national and international current affairs. Therefore your experience here will be diverse and wide-ranging, with lots of hands-on work.

Requirements:

This is a serious work experience programme and applicants must be able to demonstrate a very real interest in following a career in media. The publication will expect you to contribute ideas and make suggestions rather than sit around and just make the tea.

Even when working on English language publications, a basic understanding of Spanish is essential as the people you will be working with and possibly interviewing may not speak English.
