Internship opportunity with 3 Sport covering EPL

Internship opportunity with 3 Sport covering EPL

G�day folks, sorry about the spam.

My name�s Michael Oliver and I am a staff writer with 3 Sport.

I just wanted to let you guys know of an internship opportunity for a football-mad (or sports mad) fan, keen on getting into journalism.

We�re on the look out for an intern to join the 3 Sport online team in Auckland. You�ll be writing live updates of EPL matches over Saturday night/Sunday morning, as well as editing and uploading video of the matches as you go.

Primarily, you�ll be a journalism student, or someone keen on getting into the industry. But importantly, you�ll love football, and be keen do work overnight on a Saturday.

It�s unpaid, but I started out doing this sort of thing, and I landed a job at the end of it. In fact, there hasn�t been a single 3 News intern who hasn�t been offered a job at the end of their internship.

So if you love EPL, want to get into journalism, and want the opportunity of working for a national news organisation (and don�t mind working strange hours for free), flick me an email at moliver@mediaworks.co.nz, or Greg Robertson at grobertson@mediaworks.co.nz with a cover letter, CV, and a writing sample.

Again, apologies for the spam, but we�re dead keen on someone who loves football, and I knew this would be the best place to come searching.

Cheers,

Michael

C'mon mate for two steak and cheese  pies you could have Hard News doing it !!

EPL?

...or a Rugby guy.

LOL

Here's how I would report on the results last weekend:

English Premier League results for round 13:

Inbred Brummies (not the blue or claret ones) 1 - Super Tottenham from the Lane 3. Yes 3!! Away. 'Triffic!

Fergie's lot 1 - The plucky Geordie lads from the North East 1. Reet canny that.

Gooner Scum 1 - Foolham 1 (ha ha ha ha ha)

Mackems 1 - Wigan - yes Wigan 2 (rofl, lmao, lol-city, wheeze keys are these? etc etc etc)

'Boro - oh hang on this is the EPL.

Plus some other scores by a bunch of other teams that are there to make up the numbers.

If you wanna do this at 3am on a Sunday for free, dude, it's yours

Of course you do realise that if Spurs or Toon don't get the result I won't report that? In previous seasons this would have been most weekends.

I would be keen but my thoughts from around 3am on a sunday would be mostly inappropriate. Interesting but inappropriate.

This is TV3 - inappropriate is quite appropriate (which is good. Unless it's Paul Henry).

would my friend in England (he's a football mad kiwi) be ok? guna email him and see if he's interested...plus he's a video making guy...

Sorry dude, we need someone to be in the 3 News newsroom to do this. 

Would you get to meet Rachel Smalley???? Yum Yum

 

 

Ive sent some things off to you Michael.

Cue the Jokes and Nay sayers

that sounds pretty awesome

They might need someone to make them sandwiches

You are about 6 months behind on that joke..

 

^^^^ Grammer Monitor!

Grammar.

^^^^ Assistant GrammAr Monitor

Even better - you might meet Hamish and get to talk about Manawatu Eggball!

needs more coalface football reporting

EPL preview
This weekend Hot Shot Tottenham take on the rabble with discipline problems who also have the temerity to wear white (Bolton). After a warm-up game against a Greek outfit midweek, the lilywhites will give the wanderers (not the Woolwich ones) a trouncing - 5 goals at least, 6 or 7 if Lennon can remember to cross.

Further Norf, the mighty Magpies take on the Blue Prawn Sandwich brigade. Of course the Russian club will lose - it always struggles against French flair. They might also start late as Chelski lose their way trying to look for ST JAMES' PARK (but ending up at a Sportsdirect distribution centre).

F*ck the rest.

Wigan got dicked mate, not the Gunners
