Summer 2024 The Wall Street Journal Graphics Internship

The Wall Street Journal graphics internship is an opportunity primarily for college juniors to work in our award-winning newsroom in New York. Seniors and graduate students enrolled in a degree program by the application deadline are also eligible to apply.

Your primary duties will include the production of compelling, and editorially strong, visual journalism. You will be asked to build projects, both alone and across teams, that take advantage of your strengths. This may include data-driven interactives, maps, charts, social media promos or other explanatory work. You will learn WSJ systems and best practices for the creation of information graphics.

You should be a self-starter who understands the needs of our audience across multiple platforms and is able to work independently under deadline pressure. Dedication to high journalistic standards and excellent writing and reporting skills are required. A demonstrated interest in business reporting is a plus, though prior business/finance reporting experience is not required.

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.

For static data visualization, experience with Adobe Illustrator is required. For interactive graphics, experience with HTML and CSS is required. Experience with JavaScript and D3.js is a significant bonus.
