About the role
The CNN News Associate program is a hands-on rotational position designed to give early career journalists exposure and help develop their journalistic skills.
Participants will be based in Atlanta for 12 months, rotating through 3–4 assignments across CNN's Atlanta Headquarters. You'll build editorial and production skills, work with CNN's assignment desks, chase stories, and collaborate with reporters and producers. This is a full-time, office or hybrid role with varied schedules.
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.
