Summer Internship

The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York offers a unique summer internship program that not only gives students on-the-job experience but guarantees they will be paid.

• All students in the M.A. in Journalism and M.A. in Social Journalism degree programs participate in an internship during the summer between the second and third semesters.
• The J-School partners with employers to create exclusive summer internships for our students in newsrooms across the country and abroad. The school raises money for a fund to ensure that no student goes unpaid during their internship. Stipends range up to $4,000 for the summer. We no of no other journalism school that does this.
• Our students intern at top media organizations and cutting-edge startups — from The New York Times, CNN, and WNYC to VICE, BuzzFeed, and Quartz. Some internships have led to jobs.
• Students intern for a minimum of 280 hours. The three-credit internship is graded pass/fail based on employer evaluations and student reports on their experiences.
• The program is run by the Office of Career Services, which helps students in all phases of identifying and applying for internships.
• If you have any questions about our summer internship program, please contact Michelle Higgins, Director of Career Services, or Yolanda Rodriguez, Associate Director of Career Services.
