Who We Are Looking For
We welcome applications from undergraduate and postgraduate students in any major (Journalism, Political Science, International Relations, Literature, or Sciences).
We are looking for students who are:
- Curious: You ask “why” when others just accept “what.”
- Accurate: You care about facts, sources, and the truth.
- Multilingual: We especially want students who can write in English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, or Portuguese.
- Digital-First: You understand how to write catchy headlines and engaging intros.
What You Can Cover
As an IBO Campus Correspondent, you have the freedom to pitch stories on:
- Campus News: Protests, student elections, or innovative research happening at your university.
- Gen Z Perspectives: Opinion pieces on climate change, digital culture, and the future of work.
- Local Reporting: What is happening in your city that the mainstream media is missing?
- Tech & Science: Explain complex new discoveries to a general audience.
Program Requirements
- Commitment: This is a flexible, remote role. You can write as often as you like, but we recommend 1 article per month to stay active.
- Originality: All submissions must be 100% original and not published elsewhere.
- Zero AI: We want your voice. Articles written entirely by AI (ChatGPT) will be rejected.
