Summer internships at NY times

The application period for summer 2012 internships has ended.
You have to check for 2013 info carefully.


Summer Internship Program


The New York Times offers 10-week summer internships to college seniors and graduate students who have decided on careers in journalism. Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. for the duration of the internship.

The Times began the program in 1984. In its first 17 years, it was aimed at members of minority groups who, because of race or ethnicity, had been historically excluded from opportunities in America's newspaper industry. While the internships are now open to all applicants, the program remains as an integral part of The Times's commitment to recruit and hire as diverse and as highly qualified a staff as possible.

The Times offers a summer of demanding work and high journalistic standards in reporting and in visual journalism, and it offers copy-editing internships with placement by the Dow Jones Newspaper Fund, and an online producing internship for NYTimes.com.

The reporting interns in New York are called the James Reston Reporting Fellows and the reporting internship in Washington, D.C., is named the David Rosenbaum Reporting Fellow.

The visual journalism program, covering graphics, art design, page design and photography, is called the Thomas Morgan Internship.

The copy editing internship program is coordinated through the Dow Jones Newspaper Fund Copy Editing program.

The digital internship is in the newsroom, working with producers and editors of NYTimes.com

Salary for all four internships: About $900 a week. Housing is available on the New York University campus for about $1,000 monthly.
