Dow Jones News Fund names 37 business journalism interns

The Dow Jones News Fund’s business reporting program has named interns for the Summer of 2023.

The business reporting program continues to be its largest, with two cohorts comprising 37 interns who will spend a week in New York City, learning the fundamentals of business reporting and sharpening their reporting skills.

The first group includes interns heading to 17 different newsrooms and the second group of interns will work at American City Business Journal publications in 10 markets around the country.

Paul Glader, a professor and director of the McCandlish Phillips Journalism Institute at The King’s College, directs both programs. Garry D. Howard, director of corporate initiatives at American City Business Journals and a News Fund board member, founded and co-directs the ACBJ program.
