City Desk/Borough Reporting Interns Sought.

The New York Daily News is hiring city desk reporter/writing interns. Interns receive individual news and feature assignments as well as assist staff writers on reporting major breaking news stories for our newspaper and Web site. There are reporting/writing positions on the main city desk in Manhattan and in the three borough offices: Queens, Bronx, and Brooklyn. Positions are available seven days a week and we’ll set a schedule around your school and/or work hours. College juniors, seniors and grad students preferred. And you must have reporting experience – school or community– paper.

In the summer months only, the Daily News has a limited number of positions that come with a $350/week (or $70/day) stipend. The positions are full-time reporting/writing internships that run 10 to 12 weeks long. There is one sports position and six or seven city desk/news positions. These positions are extremely competitive and have
increasingly gone to graduate students.

To Apply:
Email resume, links or pdfs of clips, references and letter to John Oswald, News Editor, at joswald@nydailynews.com or snail mail your application to:
