Internships

At Alerting the Media we believe in the power of education and on the job training and development. Internships are provided to students who are either in their 3rd year of a PR major from Boston Media House or who have completed a diploma from Boston Media House, majoring in PR. We believe in growing the PR professionals of the future by investing as much time as possible in young PR professionals and use interns on all our campaigns to give them much needed real-world experience and time with seasoned practitioners.

We would love to meet you over a cup of coffee
or on a zoom meeting to discuss your PR or publicity needs.
