WSJ names Summer 2021 intern class

The Wall Street Journal’s summer 2021 intern class has been announced.

There were more than 4,000 applications for 13 spots. They will be joined by seven interns from our 2020 class who deferred their assignment last summer amid the pandemic.

Starting in mid-June, this group will be the fourth class to work remotely. They will be working across all of our platforms, including audio, video and digital, with reporting team assignments to be finalized in the coming weeks.
