The Reuters Global Journalism Internships

Train with the world’s largest international multimedia news agency; work with seasoned reporters and editors; prove yourself in fast-paced newsrooms around the world.

The Reuters Global Journalism Internships offer talented students and graduates an opportunity to learn and shine in our bureaus internationally.

The paid internships are a crash course in hands-on business, political and general news reporting. Every intern will report to a senior editor and be assigned a journalist mentor to provide advice and guidance during the summer. They’re expected to write regularly and deliver in-depth stories during their assignment.

Interns will receive several days of formal training before they start work, focused on writing skills, journalism ethics and basic financial knowledge. They may also be able to take advantage of other, regularly scheduled training opportunities during the summer, depending on where they’re based.

Interns who excel may be considered for other opportunities, including the Reuters Journalism Program or junior reporting roles. The intensive Journalism Program, which begins every September in New York, London and Singapore, offers nine months of training and leads into a staff job if required standards are met.
