Description

Students may sharpen their reporting skills next summer telling the stories of young entrepreneurs and makers, small businesses and big corporations, workers and labor unions, tech startups, major advertisers and corporate sponsors, stocks and bonds, real estate and so much more. Business journalists have a broad beat that covers the gamut. Before the internship begins, students will spend a week learning from business journalists and drilling-down on finance, investing, labor issues and mergers and acquisitions. Then they may go to work for respected outlets like The Wall Street Journal, American City Business Journals, Arizent, Barron's and more. College and graduate students who are enrolled in school as of the application deadline are eligible to apply for the college internship programs. This includes December graduates. Former professionals (those who have worked full-time on staff as a journalist for a year or more) in the U.S. or abroad are not eligible. International students who are already in the U.S. and authorized to work on student visas are also eligible to apply. Applicants must submit samples of their work. They must attach 3-5 clips of stories they wrote or links to digital content they produced. For data journalism, applicants may attach code they have written or a data visualization they created; editors can provide headlines, page designs or social media posts. Applicants also need to be able to supply contact information for two references. Once the completed application was received, applicants are emailed an invitation to create an account on Synap to take the test. This test must be completed by November 9, to be considered for the DJNF program. Please visit the award's website for more information.
