    The 10-week, paid full-time internship program offers hands-on work experience, one-on-one mentorship, plus orientation and tailored training sessions. Interns are treated like full-time staff members and are encouraged to pitch their own stories and projects. The summer 2022 interns reported front-page news, created interactive graphics, edited photo projects, wrote colorful features, produced videos, assisted in daily production of podcasts, reported and produced long form narrative podcast episodes, curated and published our journalism across platforms, and much more.

    We strive to be a welcoming, diverse newsroom. 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. The program has a storied history as a pipeline to a full-time job at the Journal, whether immediately or down the road.

    PUBLISHING DESK INTERNS:

    The Wall Street Journal's Publishing Desk focuses on fast-paced news editing, coding and publishing. Our editors are invigorated by the 24-hour-news cycle and passionate about providing top-quality articles, visuals and explainers to readers.

    Editors quickly and sharply edit for grammar, style, sense, jargon, accuracy, clarity, diversity and fairness. Our journalists know the importance of audience engagement and SEO in every edit. We encourage strong design and visual judgment to enhance digital storytelling packages, including editing different types of media, such as headline treatments, interactive graphics, social-media language, photo galleries and photo captions.

    We value collaboration, creativity and an appreciation of innovative storytelling techniques.

    TIMING:

    Summer internships take place over June, July and August, though start dates can be flexible in certain circumstances.

    WILL I BE PAID?

    Yes, interns are paid $28.57 per hour, and we help with the cost of public transportation. We do not provide housing, but we can help point you in the right direction.
