Deadline to apply October 29, 2021

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants must be enrolled in college and working toward a degree (associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate) or may have graduated within six months of the internship start date. Previous daily newspaper experience is requested. All applications must include a cover letter, résumé and three references reachable by phone. Additional materials are required to apply for specific positions. Only electronic applications are accepted.

COMPENSATION

Summer interns are full time for 10 to 12 weeks. Effective Jan. 1, 2022, interns will be paid $16 an hour for a 40-hour workweek, except for the Washington intern, who will be paid $17 an hour.

JOB DAY TO DAY

The internship program at The Dallas Morning News is one of the best in the country. We pride ourselves on treating our interns like full-time staffers from their first day, giving them crucial experience and insight into a journalist’s career and daily responsibilities.

Newsroom members and panelists from other organizations lead training sessions on critical skills for journalists in an ever-changing industry. Interns also have the chance to interact with members of senior leadership through one-on-one chats and a lunch with the publisher.

Interns will be held to the same journalistic standards, quality guidelines and ethics as full-time staffers, including adherence to professional decorum in dress, promptness and courtesy.

Interns are expected to have a basic knowledge of AP style. The ability to speak another language would be helpful, and familiarity with digital media is required.
