Are you a driven, student journalist eager to work in an award-winning newsroom before your senior year? The Wall Street Journal internship program offers an unparalleled opportunity for college juniors to gain practical work experience in our award-winning newsrooms in New York, Detroit, San Francisco and Los Angeles with mentorship and tailored training sessions. Graduate students enrolled in a degree program by the application deadline – October 31, 2025 – who are returning to school in the fall are also eligible to apply. Graduating seniors should apply to WSJ News Associates.

We are looking for ambitious students who think foremost about the audience and are able to work independently under deadline pressure. You don’t need to be a business or economics expert, but a commitment to high journalistic standards is a must.

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. You should have completed at least one prior reporting internship with another professional media organization or published exceptional work with a campus news outlet or as a freelancer.

Interns are encouraged to pitch their own stories and projects and follow them through to completion with supervision and guidance from an editor.

Applications for the WSJ Summer Internship Class of 2026 are open and can be found at WSJ.jobs. To learn more about the internship program, visit careers.WSJ.jobs.
