The Media Unit in the Communications Section at the UN Human Rights Office seeks an intern with excellent research skills, a good understanding of global media and fluency in English. The ideal candidate would be able to work independently, with minimal supervision, in compiling daily press clippings relevant to the Office's work; in monitoring the media to study the impact that our press products have; and in undertaking other tasks, including research, as assigned by the Media Officers and Spokesperson. Knowledge of human rights would be a plus and some knowledge of French is desirable.

Dear Students, today I am beginning the bi-annual service of all of the newsrooms. All user data will be wiped from all iMac computers. It is not possible to retrieve data once it has been wiped.

As all of you keep your own media on your own storage this is purely a courtesy announcement.

There is still some CFJ kit checked out to students well beyond it's return date. Please check to see if you are on the 'checked out' equipment list on this site and return the kit as soon as you can. Please be prepared to settle the penalty - no exceptions or excuses.   

If you're bilingual and want to get an insider's look at how the World Service works, the BBC Future Voices Trainee Scheme is just for you!
