The DJNF Internship Program help juniors, seniors and graduate students jump-start careers in journalism through hands-on internships with leading news organizations. Interns receive one week of rigorous pre-internship training, a weekly salary during the internship and a $1,500 scholarship for students and graduates with federal loans.

Interns are chosen based on their résumés, experience, performance on DJNF tests, telephone interviews, 500-word essays and the needs of media outlets. Internships are offered in:

  • Audience Engagement
  • Multiplatform Editing
  • Data Journalism
  • Digital Media

Heather Taylor will walk you through the application process and offer tips on writing a competitive application.

We'll also discuss internships at KQED, National Hearst Journalism Fellowship, American Society of Magazine Editors and other media employers.
