An internship at AP is a fulltime, paid, working experience, with successful applicants offered the challenge of joining news gathering and news production colleagues to create and craft our daily all-formats news report. Interns will be paired with a mentor/coach who will offer training and guidance, but we are seeking strong storytellers who demonstrate solid news judgment and are eager to put what they have learned in an academic environment into professional practice. AP’s internship program also seeks to provide opportunities for journalists from nations other than the U.S. to work for a global news agency in their home country. Women and people of color are encouraged to apply to begin their careers in our newsroom.
All internships are for six months – allowing students and recent graduates a more immersive experience than can take place over a few weeks. Interns should be comfortable interacting with a diverse group of coworkers and interview subjects.
The application deadline for all internships is Feb. 28, 2022, 11:59 p.m. EST.
