This is an opportunity to help tell the very best stories in UK Athletics — with behind-the-scenes access to teams, the passion of Big Blue Nation, interviews with legendary Wildcats, and moments fans don’t get anywhere else.

UK Sports Network goes deeper than traditional coverage, producing original video features, interviews, highlights and social-first storytelling that brings Kentucky Athletics to life in a way no other outlet can.

As UK Sports Network continues to grow rapidly across digital, social, and long-form video platforms, we have an immediate need for talented videographers and editors who are ready to contribute meaningful work from day one. This is an outstanding opportunity to sharpen your craft, build a high-level portfolio and create content seen by a massive Wildcats audience.

Whether your experience comes from the classroom or your own content creation, this role will help you grow as a videographer, editor and storyteller.

Your content will be featured across UK Sports Network platforms, reaching an audience of more than 200,000 social followers and living on UKSNAllAccess.com. Projects may include long-form feature videos, game highlights, athlete and coach interviews, and short-form social edits.

This position is the perfect next step for emerging videographers and editors looking to build a strong portfolio while producing meaningful stories for a large audience.

This internship is available for JAM 399 course credit. Both paid and unpaid positions are available depending on qualifications and department needs.
