About the role

The Wall Street Journal offers an internship program for driven student journalists across New York, Detroit, San Francisco and Los Angeles with mentorship and tailored training sessions. Eligible juniors and graduating seniors may apply, with timing centered around a 10-week window in the summer. Interns will gain hands-on reporting experience, write features, cover breaking news, and pitch stories with editor guidance. The program emphasizes audience focus and high journalistic standards.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
