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

The Wall Street Journal internship program is an opportunity primarily for college juniors to work in our award-winning newsrooms in either New York, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco or Washington D.C. Seniors and graduate students enrolled in a degree program by the application deadline — Monday, Oct. 23, 2023 at noon Eastern time — are also eligible to apply.

We are seeking self-starters who understand the needs of our audience across multiple platforms and are able to work independently under deadline pressure. Dedication to high journalism standards and excellent writing and reporting skills are required.

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. You should have completed at least one prior reporting internship with another professional media organization or published exceptional work with a campus news outlet or as a freelancer.

The paid internship program offers practical work experience and mentorship, plus a robust orientation and tailored training sessions. Interns are encouraged to pitch their own stories and projects and follow them through to completion with supervision and guidance from an editor.

Application links can be found at WSJ.jobs. Applications for Europe and Asia will be posted later this fall. To learn more about the internship program, visit medium.com/wsj-internships and review our FAQs.
