The Sun Herald in Biloxi, Mississippi is looking for a dynamic college student or recent graduate who is passionate about journalism – and is a foodie at heart – to join our team as a paid intern reporter covering food, fun and local culture.

The Mississippi Coast has a thriving food scene that is much more than seafood, including family-owned Vietnamese restaurants, food trucks, hidden gems and soul food.

The ideal candidate loves trying new cuisine, writing lists, polling residents to find their favorite places to eat and using Instagram and TikTok to engage audiences who are passionate about food and fun.

No two days will look the same: the reporter could spend one day trying foods and rides at the summer fair and the next talking with the chef at a fine dining restaurant experimenting with a new cocktail menu.

This reporter will also be responsible for creating food brackets, where restaurants go head-to-head to be crowned Sun Herald’s top business for a specific cuisine.

Food reporting is one part of this job. The other is living like a tourist to inform readers, both locally and across the U.S., how to live their best lives on the Coast. From staycations to resorts to casino buffets, you’ll try it all and give your perspective to our audiences.

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is one of the most diverse and fastest growing areas in the state, and Biloxi is known for its casinos, beaches, tourism and restaurants. The Coast is a quick drive to New Orleans or Mobile, Alabama.

This 10-week internship is a full-time position and can begin.
