Show your pride today! This year's campaign is about number of donations, so even a small amount helps us reach our goal to provide experiential learning opportunities (such as trips to Cuba, Alaska, Sri Lanka, or NYC) to all of our J-students, not just those who can afford them. If you got a dollar to spare, that will put us one donation closer to unlocking our next challenge gift!

One Day. One Way. .

When you let students spend a trimester reading and writing about what makes them feel connected to the world, not surprisingly they read and write more (and write better)--because they care.

Journalists take for granted skill sets that define the profession: researching unfamiliar topics, asking probing questions, synthesizing new information, and engaging publics. Yet these skills also correlate to what K-12 students will need in order to navigate an ever-changing and complex world. Me...

“All day you’re running around in the field. Then you come back, have dinner, talk through someone’s story and read until you go to sleep at 1 or 2. Then you get up in the morning — at 5:30 because the light makes it hard to sleep — and do it all again. It’s totally engaging, exhilarating and exhausting.” - Mark Blaine, Senior Instructor of Journalism

The Dow Jones News Fund invites applicants for 2016 SUMMER INTERNSHIPS

College juniors, seniors and graduate students are invited to apply to the Dow Jones News Fund for paid summer 2016 internships in data journalism, digital media, business reporting and news editing. The application deadline is Nov. 3.

Interns will be trained at New York University, Arizona State University, the University of Missouri, Temple University, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Texas, Austin, before reporting to work. Interns will earn at least $400 per week for 10 to 12 weeks. Fifty-six media companies hired 92 interns in 2015.

For the first time, the Fund will offer a data journalism program with training directed by Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) at the University of Missouri. Students will learn how to search out, analyze and report with data.

The Fund's partnership with American City Business Journals will expand in 2016 to 10 interns. Students apply here for the business reporting and ACBJ programs.

Students interested in data journalism, digital media or news editing, apply here.

The Fund and sponsoring media cover travel costs to and from training and to newsrooms. Students who return to school after a successful internship will receive $1,000 college scholarships. Applicants must take a one-hour business reporting or editing/digital exam in addition to submitting the application forms.

Posters, brochures and tests have been mailed to professors on college campuses who have volunteered to serve as test monitors. (Note: The Fund is using a new application process for 2016, students do not need to create an account on the website.)
Students can find a list of test monitors here. Visit our website for more information about the residencies and internship programs.

A sizable number of 2015 interns have already been hired or offered extended internships. Participating news organizations have included The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Comcast, Dow Jones Newswires, The Denver Post, Los Angeles Times, Thomson Reuters, Media General, MSN, E.W. Scripps Company, The Detroit News, The Tampa Bay Times,The Christian Science Monitor, the Capital New York, Naples Daily News, TheStreet.com and many others.
