WSJ’s summer 2019 newsroom intern class in the New York office

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

The 10-week paid internship program offers hands-on work experience and one-on-one mentorship, plus a robust orientation and tailored training sessions. Interns are treated like full-time staff members and are encouraged to pitch their own stories and projects.

We offer internships in reporting, graphics, editing, data reporting, podcasts, video, photo editing and product design. Past reporting interns have worked in the U.S. and Europe covering beats across markets, finance, business, sports, careers, features, education, law, life & arts, health and national news.

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.

We strive to be a welcoming and diverse newsroom that prioritizes equality and fosters an inclusive culture. That mission extends to our internship program. The program has a storied history as a pipeline to a full-time job at the Journal, whether immediately or down the road.

Deadlines and application links for summer 2021 internships will be posted on WSJ.jobs in late August.
