Description

Students can 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 through the Dow Jones News Fund Business Reporting Internship Program. Business journalists have a broad beat that covers the gamut. Before your internship begins, you'll spend a week learning from business journalists and drilling-down on finance, investing, labor issues and mergers and acquisitions. Then go to work for respected outlets like The Wall Street Journal, American City Business Journals, Arizent, Barron's and more. Applicants enrolled in school as of the application deadline are eligible to apply for the college internship programs. This includes December graduates. U.S. students studying abroad and international students already in the U.S. with work visas are also eligible. 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. 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.
