What the intern(s) will learn: Techniques of writing for search engines; optimization of a web page for SEO (treatment of photographs for the web, site speed control, etc.); medium/advanced level HTML language; rudiments of photo editing (cropping, setting the correct weight of a photograph for a performing site; modifying colors, saturation, etc.); basics of analyzing the positioning of a website; basics of online journalism; teamwork.
