Dow Jones Deadlines Extended

Dear JOUR students and MC grad students

Because of Hurricane Sandy the deadline for the Dow Jones copy editing test and the Dow Jones business reporting internship test have been extended a week!

The tests have to be in the mail by the 8st of November AND you have to have applied online by the 8st of November, too (this was Nov. 1 but because of Hurricane Sandy they have extended the deadline!!!!)

I am sending this out to see if there are any more brave souls who are willing to take either  test … either one takes an hour … I am available in 310 today to give the test

I gave it on Monday and I am giving it again today at 3:30 p.m. in 310 West Hall

I can find a way to give the tests again IF THERE IS INTEREST … so email me if you are interested!!!!

Since this is an expense paid, salary paid, internship, that is open to juniors, seniors and grad students — and is open even to students who are graduating in December – it is a serious chance none of you should be passing up

REALLY this is the single most prestigious internship in journalism … and most people who do it go on to report afterward…. Often at the paper where they interned!!!

You can find the online applications at: https://www.newsfund.org/PageText/Prg_HomePages.aspx?Page_ID=Prg_CollegeIntern

And examples of past tests at: http://www.editteach.org/specialprojects?id=8

Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Internships

It’s Deborah Brewster here – I run the intern program for the Wall Street Journal and also (as of this year) for Dow Jones Newswires.
I have attached some FAQ which might help you in providing guidance to any students interested in interning with us. I realize that it can be hard to know how to find out about internships. The attached document is not intended for publication but just to give a stronger sense of what we are looking for and what might be available.

I also wanted to alert you to a few important points:
1)Our internships typically take place in summer 2013. The deadline for applications is NOVEMBER 1, 2012.

2)In previous years, the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires recruited and managed their interns as separate organizations. From this year, the intern programs will be integrated as one program. There is one application process and I will place the interns – whether WSJ or DJN – across the organization. Many of our bureaus have already integrated their WSJ and DJN staff so the distinction between a WSJ intern and a DJN intern is less now than it was.

3)We look for interns to cover a range of subject matter, not only business and finance. For example, our magazine, WSJ., covers fashion, lifestyle, food and travel.

Details are on our website, Dowjones.com. Applicants should send their resume, short cover letters and up to six writing samples to me, by hard copy. They should specify if they have any particular area of interest.

Regards
Deborah Brewster
