The Star is among the most widely circulated English-language papers in the country, based in a brand new building in the Paranaque area of the Philippines capital, Manila. The paper was launched in 1986, just a few months after the people’s revolt that toppled dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
The Star publishes every day, and runs a comprehensive English-language website looking at every aspect of life in the country of 115 million people.
The Star has had a long association with the media internship programme, with interns describing it as a positive and rewarding experience.
Applications close 13 October
