Job Description:

INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW:

The Wall Street Journal internship program is an opportunity for college juniors, seniors and graduate students to be fully immersed in our Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom, working with some of the best journalists in the world.

The 10-week paid 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.

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.

ASIA-PACIFIC INTERNS:

The Wall Street Journal's internships in the Asia-Pacific region are designed for students who intend to pursue a career in journalism. We are looking for a digital platform intern to work as part of WSJ's Chinese-language website based in Beijing. This will be an opportunity to work closely with the Chinese website team and learn how to lay out the stories, use multimedia tools, promote stories on social media and learn how newsletters are created and distributed.

You should be a self-starter who understands the needs of our growing audience on various platforms and is able to work independently under deadline pressure. Dedication to high journalism standards and excellent writing and reporting skills are required. A demonstrated interest in business reporting is a plus, though prior business/finance reporting experience is not required.

Fluency in English and Chinese is strongly preferred. You need to be authorized to work in the country where the internship is based.

HOW TO APPLY:

Please submit a resume, cover letter and no more than five published work samples. Any work samples published in a language other than English should be accompanied by a full English translation. Only complete applications will be considered. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2022 at noon Singapore time.

TIMING:

Summer internships take place between June and September, though start dates can be flexible in certain circumstances.

Only finalists will be contacted. We will review applications on a rolling basis and strive to make selections by mid-March.
