Summer 2023 F. James Pensiero Business Reporting Internship

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a current student or recent graduate who intends to pursue a career in business and financial journalism to work in New York for a summer internship. This scholarship-funded position includes a stipend to help with housing or travel costs. You will work closely with reporters and editors to deliver prompt, accurate reporting of news relevant to your beat. You will be expected to generate your own story ideas and follow the stories through to completion with supervision and guidance from an editor. Our interns are self-starters who understand the needs of our growing audience on various digital and print platforms and can work independently under deadline pressure. Dedication to high journalism standards and excellent writing and reporting skills are a must. A demonstrated interest in business reporting is a plus, though prior business/finance reporting experience is not required. Preference for the scholarship internship will be given to University of Oregon students, though it is open to those from any state school in the U.S. Students majoring in business journalism or journalism with a second major or minor in economics or business will have an edge.
