Wall Street Journal announces three additional summer internships

The Wall Street Journal has announced three additional internships for aspiring journalists.

The Journal’s internship program is an opportunity for college juniors, seniors and graduate students to be fully immersed in the Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom, working with some of the best journalists in the world.

The 10-week internship program offers hands-on work experience, one-on-one mentorship and tailored training sessions. Interns are treated like full-time staff members and are encouraged to pitch their own stories and projects. The summer 2019 interns reported front-page news, created interactive graphics, edited photo projects, wrote colourful features, produced videos, curated and published our journalism across platforms, and much more.

The Journal strives to be a welcoming, diverse newsroom. You don’t need to be an expert in business or finance to apply, but you do need to be curious and eager to learn. The program has a storied history as a pipeline to a full-time job at the Journal, whether immediately or down the road.
