Internship

Mar 10, 2026

Pros

I interned at R.AGE - Friendly colleagues who are always willing to lend a hand and guide us, and who also make the working environment a fun and exciting o - Flexible, you can learn anything you want as long as you are proactive - Good exposure to the basics of the journalism industry (interviewing, editing, managing social media and websites)

Cons

- The traffic outside Menara Star can be quite a nightmare and sometimes begins inside the parking lot itself. I recommend taking the MRT instead - Depending on when you intern, sometimes there are periods without many ongoing projects (like at the end of the year) and there isn't much to do, interns may be doing mundane tasks like writing letters, calling, transcribing etc
