INTERN APPLICATION PROCESS

 

DEADLINE: ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 1, 2011.

 

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. (U.S.)

 

Internships are aimed at undergraduates or recent graduates who intend a career in journalism. To apply for this internship please

 

submit a cover letter, resume and up to six writing samples. We will select about 15 interns for the summer 2012 program. The

 

selection process is highly competitive and most of those chosen have had prior internships with other newspapers as well as

 

extensive experience on a campus newspaper. The internships are for ten-week periods in June, July and August. The pay is

 

$700.00 a week.

 

The screening process puts heavy emphasis on clips and journalistic experience. Only the applicants who are selected for final

 

consideration will be contacted. We will complete the selection process by the end of December.

 

About half the interns are based outside New York, in bureaus such as San Francisco, DC, Detroit, etc. We do not pay for

 

relocation. It helps for applicants to state if they have preferences in where they intern, and also if they have any preferences in

 

subject matter (for example: metro, economics, politics, arts etc). We cannot guarantee to meet your preferences, but it helps us in

 

placing interns. If you wish to apply for a video, art or WSJ.com internship, please specify that in your application. You can also

 

elect to apply for more than one of these, if you have several areas of skill.

 

ART INTERNS: We also accept photo, infographics and art internship applications. Applicants should include samples of their

 

work.

 

VIDEO INTERNS: Each year we take at least one video intern, who works as part of our video team shooting and editing video

 

that complements and supplements print stories.

 

WSJ.COM INTERNS: Our online team, which is integrated with the print operations, takes several interns each year who work

 

exclusively online, packaging and editing stories, video and graphics for our website.
