    All of them but you just ring up or email and ask. It's not as formalised as in the States

    As jdivision said, and don't get insulted if rejected.

    When going in be ready for everything and anything. Don't wait for ideas to be given to you. Have a ton of ideas. Research what to expect generally from work experience but keep in mind that different outlets or even sections can be vastly different. What's gold for one is dust for the other.

    Know the publication or outlet inside out, know their reads. Know what type of stories they run and what they don't. And know what they have published in the recent past -- don't get caught suggesting something which was already broadcasted or published last week on by them, or close rivals.

    Good luck.
