DEADLINE: ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 1, 2011.
Internships are aimed at undergraduates or recent graduates who intend a career in journalism. To apply for this internship please submit a cover letter, resume and up to six writing samples. We will select about 15 interns for the summer 2012 program. The selection process is highly competitive and most of those chosen have had prior internships with other newspapers as well as extensive experience on a campus newspaper. The internships are for ten-week periods in June, July and August. The pay is$700.00 a week.
The screening process puts heavy emphasis on clips and journalistic experience. Only the applicants who are selected for final consideration will be contacted. We will complete the selection process by the end of December. About half the interns are based outside New York, in bureaus such as San Francisco, DC, Detroit, etc. We do not pay for relocation. It helps for applicants to state if they have preferences in where they intern, and also if they have any preferences in subject matter (for example: metro, economics, politics, arts etc). We cannot guarantee to meet your preferences, but it helps us inplacing interns. If you wish to apply for a video, art or WSJ.com internship, please specify that in your application. You can also elect to apply for more than one of these, if you have several areas of skill.
ART INTERNS: We also accept photo, infographics and art internship applications. Applicants should include samples of their work.
VIDEO INTERNS: Each year we take at least one video intern, who works as part of our video team shooting and editing video that complements and supplements print stories.
WSJ.COM INTERNS: Our online team, which is integrated with the print operations, takes several interns each year who work exclusively online, packaging and editing stories, video and graphics for our website.
