The Wall Street Journal internship program is an opportunity primarily for college juniors to work in our award-winning newsrooms in either New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco or Washington D.C. Seniors and graduate students enrolled in a degree program by the application deadline – Sunday, October 27 – are also eligible to apply.
We are seeking self-starters who understand the needs of our audience across multiple platforms and are able to work independently under deadline pressure. Dedication to high journalism standards and excellent writing and reporting skills are required.
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.
The paid internship program offers practical work experience and mentorship, plus a robust orientation and tailored training sessions. Interns are encouraged to pitch their own stories and projects and follow them through to completion with supervision and guidance from an editor.

Summer 2025 Bartley Fellowship
Throughout his 30 years as The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Page Editor, Bob Bartley inspired principled and original thinking that changed and shaped the society in which we all live. He also devoted attention to teaching and motivating talented young people, many of whom have gone on to careers in journalism at the Journal and elsewhere. The Bartley fellowships are consistent with that legacy.
Bob Bartley achieved many honors during his long tenure here, including a Pulitzer Prize and, shortly before his death in December 2003, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In awarding that medal, President Bush cited Bob as “one of the most influential journalists in American history. ”The Robert L. Bartley fellowships will help to perpetuate not just Bob’s memory but, above all, the principles and priorities to which he devoted his distinguished career.
