Internship coordinators for national news organizations review hundreds of applications, if not more, during each application cycle — so standing out is key. From the cover letter to resume to your work samples, applications require a keen eye and an editor’s approach.
For tips, watch this Sept. 23 panel discussion on “How to land a journalism internship in Washington, D.C.,” with Sequoia Carrillo, reporter and intern manager, NPR’s Education Team; Shirley Carswell, executive director, Dow Jones News Fund; Christine Cox, intern program manager, NPR; and Angie Seldon, human resources senior specialist, C-SPAN. The conversation was moderated by Beth Francesco, deputy executive director for the Institute.
