Interns should be able to edit and send pictures, multimedia and video remotely, and have the ability to write creative, accurate captions under deadline pressure.

We compete daily with The Salt Lake Tribune, along with several other daily publications and five local television stations. Our combined newsroom 23 photojournalists (six still photojournalists for Deseret News and 17 video photojournalists working for KSL-TV) continuously win numerous photojournalism awards yearly, both regionally and nationally, as well as NPPA's Best of Photojournalism contest and the University of Missouri School of Journalism's POYi competition.
