We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
Content:
- Summary: "Help our team lead the charge on visual journalism in a North Texas market hungry for it. From breaking news to viral trends, you'll set the agenda and shape how our audience understands critical issues through photo and video."
- Job description: "Strong visuals are the basis of this internship.

Editors and other photographers will critique your visual storytelling and technique, including lighting, composition, lens work, cropping, toning, captions and video editing."
- "What will you do?" list: Shoot and edit stills and video; Write accurate and compelling photo captions; Work under tight deadline pressures; Use social media on the job for professional purposes; Work with editors to develop coverage that resonates with our digital audience.
- "What will it take to be successful?" list: Your effective organization, smooth workflow and technical excellence will be required to complete a heavy workload of shooting; You’ll demonstrate the ability to transmit on deadline, submit numerous images for slideshows, send smartphone stills and/or video from breaking news or live events, occasionally shoot SLR video, and potentially work on short- or long-term projects.; The culture of our newsroom will demand positive energy, intelligence, excellent written and verbal language skills, grace under pressure, attention to detail and big picture vision.; By taking full advantage of learning from our very strong shooters, you will be better prepared to enter the workforce full time.; Valid driver's license and registered vehicle to travel to assignments.

We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe summary + job description?), Responsibilities (what will you do?), Requirements/Qualifications (what will it take to be successful?), Skills (maybe derived from requirements), Benefits (none given), Pay (none), Schedule (none). So we should include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills (maybe combine with Requirements). But we must not create sections with placeholder text. If we have no content for Benefits, Pay, Schedule, we omit them.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting.

We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to not repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). So we don't add a heading for "Photo Intern". Also do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's none.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
About the role
Help our team lead the charge on visual journalism in a North Texas market hungry for it. From breaking news to viral trends, you'll set the agenda and shape how our audience understands critical issues through photo and video.
Strong visuals are the basis of this internship. From the first week, you will be expected to perform like a staff member — shooting and editing stills and video, working under tight deadline pressures, and using social media on the job for professional purposes. Editors and other photographers will critique your visual storytelling and technique, including lighting, composition, lens work, cropping, toning, captions and video editing.
Responsibilities
- Shoot and edit stills and video
- Write accurate and compelling photo captions
- Work under tight deadline pressures
- Use social media on the job for professional purposes
- Work with editors to develop coverage that resonates with our digital audience
Requirements
- Effective organization, smooth workflow and technical excellence to complete a heavy workload of shooting
- Ability to transmit on deadline, submit numerous images for slideshows, send smartphone stills and/or video from breaking news or live events, occasionally shoot SLR video, and potentially work on short- or long-term projects
- Positive energy, intelligence, excellent written and verbal language skills, grace under pressure, attention to detail and big picture vision
- Valid driver's license and registered vehicle to travel to assignments
Skills
Technical proficiency in shooting and editing stills and video; strong caption writing; ability to work under tight deadlines; professional use of social media; collaboration with editors; organization and workflow management; communication skills; attention to detail; visual storytelling technique (lighting, composition, lens work, cropping, toning).
But we need to be careful: The Skills section content must be derived from posting, not invented. The posting mentions: shooting and editing stills and video, writing captions, working under tight deadline pressures, using social media professionally, working with editors, effective organization, smooth workflow, technical excellence, ability to transmit on deadline, submit images, send smartphone stills/video, occasional SLR video, short/long-term projects, positive energy, intelligence, excellent written and verbal language skills, grace under pressure, attention to detail, big picture vision, valid driver's license and registered vehicle. So we can list these as skills. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can list them as bullet points under Skills, but we already have Requirements. Might be overlapping. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Skills into one section? But we have headings for Requirements and Skills separately. Could we just have Requirements (including skills) and omit Skills? The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. It does not forbid having both Requirements and Skills if content exists. However we need to avoid duplication. The posting does not explicitly label "Skills" but we can infer skills from responsibilities and requirements. It's okay to create a Skills section if we have specific content (the skills listed). But we must not create placeholder text. So we can create a Skills section with bullet points derived from the posting.
But we need to ensure we don't duplicate content between Requirements and Skills. Could we treat Requirements as qualifications (like driver's license) and Skills as abilities? Might be okay.
Alternatively, we could have only one section "Requirements and Skills" but the instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It didn't say we must use all; we can choose which to include. So we could include Requirements (covering both qualifications and skills) and omit Skills to avoid thin sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to have fewer sections. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications and skills). That seems good.
Thus we will output:
About the role
... summary and job description paragraphs ...
Responsibilities
...
Requirements
...
We also have About The Dallas Morning News and About Hearst Newspapers. Those are company description; could be part of About the role? Or maybe we could add a section "About the company". But the allowed headings list does not include About the company; only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should incorporate company description into About the role perhaps. The About the role heading can contain both role summary and company info. That's acceptable.
Thus we will include in About the role paragraph(s) the summary, job description, and company description.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. Already fine.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. None present.
Now produce HTML.
Check for any duplicated lines: The posting includes "Strong visuals are the basis of this internship..." and later similar? Not duplicate.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: Let's extract all pieces.

We should include that as part of About the role maybe at end.
Now craft HTML.
