What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a journalism internship (on-site or remote) where I can learn from editors, contribute to coverage, and apply my training in news writing, investigative work, and multilingual reporting with careful source checks and fact verification.

I am applying for a journalism internship with L'Orient-Le Jour, either on-site or remote. I’m currently a second-year journalism student at Lebanese International University (LIU) in Tyre, and I’m eager to learn from your newsroom.

Alongside my university classes, I’ve been building practical skills through a training program in news writing and investigative journalism with Nidaa Al-Watan newspaper. I learned how to check sources, verify facts, and write clear, direct news pieces.

I bring strong multilingual capability—I speak and write fluently in Arabic, French, and English—so I can research international sources, translate information, and write reports in all three languages. I also have voice-over experience that could support your digital videos or audio content.

I focus on keeping my writing simple, factual, and easy for the reader to follow. I’m hardworking, ready for daily tasks, and motivated to contribute while learning from your editors.
