About this role
About Snappr News
Snappr is the one-stop-shop for visual content for brands, including the largest on-demand marketplace for photographers and videographers. Snappr News is a new product line: an editorial photo and video product launching in 2026, starting with technology news in the San Francisco Bay Area. We will cover the top tech stories of the day with stunning visuals that can’t be found anywhere else. You’ll play a leading role in shaping the product and business model from the ground up, and helping define how the world gets visuals for the moments that matter. This is our first ever internship position for this product.
The Role
You’ll work alongside the Snappr News team to cover broad tech news and tech’s impact across San Francisco and the Bay Area: companies, founders, workers, money, culture, policy, and the on-the-ground moments that explain what’s actually happening - beyond the press releases.
This is a photo and video capture internship. You won’t need to edit - we have a whole backend platform for that!
You’ll get a front seat view of the early days of a new product at a fast growing technology startup!
What You'll Do:
- Report visually in the field: breaking news, events, portraits, features, and “tech meets real life” stories.
- Deliver fast: often same-day, frequently within hours, occasionally immediately when news breaks.
- Produce both photo and video on assignment: from quick hit coverage to short-form storytelling.
- Write complete, accurate captions for every photo/video: names, titles, dates, locations, context - no guessing. Use AI tools responsibly to speed up your writing and tagging without sacrificing quality.
- Tag and package everything correctly in the proprietary Snappr News app: keywords, locations, people/companies, and legal information.
- Operate according to photojournalistic ethics and standards.
- Receive coaching from experienced photographers.
Must-Haves:
- Strong photographic portfolio (street photography is a good proxy if you don’t have experience in photojournalism specifically).
- Solid video shooting skills.
- Extreme attention to detail.
- Charismatic and love meeting new people.
- Calm under pressure.
- Patient.
Strong Preference:
- Studying a relevant field at a local university (preference to Berkeley and Stanford).
- Experience in photojournalism (e.g. school photojournalism).
- Motorbike license (or willing to get one). We have company bikes.
Gear
We provide top-end gear. If you prefer, we will consider allowing you to use your own kit if it’s full-frame and compatible with our hardware and remote transfer requirements.
Schedule
8-12 weeks over summer - flexible depending on school schedule. Mostly Mon-Fri, with occasional weekend assignments and on-call. Must be flexible for evening events and fast-breaking coverage.
Compensation & Benefits
•$25 per hour (40 hours per week).
•Approved travel expenses covered where needed.
