Sports Media and Communication Internships

We’ll help you identify internships locally —and in the industry’s top markets  — that can jump-start your career while you’re still a student. Drake students have found internships in organizations and companies such as MidAmerican Energy; ESPN; Meredith Corp. digital operations; Cleveland Cavaliers; Clear Channel Communications; the Iowa Cubs, Iowa Barnstormers and Des Moines Menace; The Des Moines Register; USATF Outdoor Championships; WHO-TV, KCCI-TV and WOI-TV in Des Moines; national networks in New York and Washington, D.C.; NBCSN; St. Louis PBS and Minnesota and Iowa NPR stations; the Iowa Speedway and Prairie Meadows racetrack, just to name a few. With our own internship coordinator, we’ll help you find the right job.
