I don't have any experience in journalism. How can I apply for internships at a magazine or newspaper organisation?

There is not any reason to worry at all because the internships are done to gain the experience. None a highly experienced candidate looks to do internship. Doing the internship is great kick start to your career. Every year, 60 lakh students graduate from college but only 8% are employable. This is a massive problem which needs to be tacked right away and so, to help the rest 92% begin their career, Internshala and Facebook have launched India Employed (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://goo.gl/DQc8Ba" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>http://goo.gl/DQc8Ba</a>). Through India Employed, graduates can apply for internships with a pre-placement offer (PPO), which means, not only will they gain the skills and experience that they need, but also have the chance to convert their internship to a full-time role. Well, if you are particularly looking for the internships than you should have to build your profile accordingly. Do some Diploma or certificates in journalism course. Internshala is a company where you can find a meaningful internship for your journalism career.

This applies to each learned persons as well who has got some higher education as a qualification. If someone is a graduate or a post graduate in English, Hindi or any other language, mass communication or political science, geography, even physical education or economics or commerce, it means any degree which has given you two things 1. Professional Knowledge and 2. General Awareness then one can claim a job with media. Newspapers and magazines ask for contributors as authors or writers. They do not initially pay but start paying soon. I suggest you mail your writing to editors of newspapers and magazines of the domain you are an expert in. A formal degree in journalism or experience may not be needed when your writings convince them about giving you work. I have personally experienced this thing before doing Master's in Journalism on the basic of MA in English and experience in education, I was able to write on education.
