REPORTING INTERNS
The Chronicle of Higher Education
Washington, D.C.
Application Deadline: Friday, June 7
The Chronicle of Higher Education is seeking four interns for the fall 2013 session, which will begin in September and last through December.
The Chronicle’s internships aim to give current undergraduates and recent college graduates the opportunity to gain professional experience at the No. 1 source for news about higher education. Applicants must show a strong interest in pursuing a career in journalism with relevant coursework or prior experience.
The internships are full-time in our Washington, D.C. office. In addition to a $500 weekly stipend, academic credit can often be arranged.
Interns will report and write daily news articles for The Chronicle’s Web site (which often appear subsequently in print), write news articles for other sections of the newspaper, blog, and do research for special projects.
Requirements: Experience writing for publication, either at a student newspaper or a professional publication, is required. Candidates with previous internships and deadline-reporting experience are preferred. Candidates must be able to legally work in the United States and to stay through the term of the internship.
Applications should include a cover letter; a résumé with telephone, e-mail, and postal contact information; and a maximum of five varied and impressive clips. Clips should include dates and publication names. Please be sure type is large enough to read. Please also note in your cover letter that you are applying for the editorial internship.
Applications for the internship must be received by Friday, June 7, and sent to:
