by QNS English 10 Sep '21

10 Sep '21

Dear students, The Wall Street Journal’s 2022 internships in the U.S. are posted and open for applications. These internships are a great opportunity—and paid. See below for details. Regards, Jason Tougaw Professor, English English Internship Coordinator Faculty Advisor, The Knight News Queens College jason.tougaw(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:jason.tougaw@qc.cuny.edu> There are 12 types of internship opportunities in the U.S. We’ve included a summary below with links to each of the internship applications. Our internships are posted on WSJ.jobs<http://wsj.jobs/>, LinkedIn and Handshake, and we've blasted this out to our academic and industry contacts. That said, we'd like this information to go as far and wide as possible, so please feel free to share! Applications for summer reporting internships in Europe will open on Nov. 1 and close by Jan. 3. We will send a reminder about these opportunities once we're accepting applications. Thanks, Aisha & Steve WSJ 2022 Internships The Wall Street Journal internship program is an opportunity for college juniors and seniors and graduate students to be immersed in our award-winning newsroom, working with our best-in-class journalists. The paid internship program offers hands-on work experience and one-on-one mentorship, plus a robust orientation and tailored training sessions. Interns work as staff members and are encouraged to pitch their own stories and projects. The Journal has created a part-time spring internship for the first time that will launch in the U.S. in the spring of 2022, on top of the long-established 10-week summer program and full-time spring health reporting internship. This expansion of our internship program will help us meet our commitment to recruit and build a pipeline of high-potential, diverse candidates who can bring their varied backgrounds, experiences and perspectives into our newsroom. The 15-week part-time spring internship will allow students in the New York or Washington, D.C., metropolitan areas to get newsroom experience, while continuing to attend school. Interns will work between 16 and 20 hours a week, depending on their class load. We offer internships in reporting, graphics, data reporting, podcasts, video, social media, audience engagement and product design. Past reporting interns have covered markets, finance, business, economics, careers, sports, education, real estate, health, entertainment, technology, politics 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. You should have completed at least one prior internship with a professional media organization, or published exceptional work with a campus news outlet or as a freelancer. Summer interns are paid $900 per week and part-time spring interns can expect to get paid at a rate of at least $25.71 an hour. The program has a storied history as a pipeline to a long and fulfilling career at the Journal for some interns. Application links for the spring and summer 2022 internships in the U.S. can be found at WSJ.jobs<http://wsj.jobs/>. The deadline for the spring internship is Oct. 15 and the deadline for the summer internship is Nov. 1. Applications for Europe summer reporting internships will open on Nov. 1 and close by Jan. 3.
