Paid Journalism Internship

The Scripps Howard Fund and the New Jersey Civic Information Consortium are partnering to provide New Jersey's students with paid journalism experience by interning, this fall semester, at three nonprofit newsrooms that serve New Jersey communities.

The Jersey Vindicator, CivicStory and Follow South Jersey will each provide different learning and reporting opportunities. You can read each outlet's job description in the universal application here. Please note: You must apply at this link, not through Handshake.

These internships are open to students (undergraduate and graduate) who attend college in New Jersey. Students graduating from a New Jersey university in the 2025-26 school year are also eligible to apply.

There will be a Q & A Session with the hiring managers on Tuesday, June 16. - You will need to pre-register (and it will not be recorded). Allison Hunter is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Registration: https://ewscripps.zoom.us/j/92421072158?pwd=VMvcG9BUBKOGKlWQETyCmc5apfZlae.1

  
The internship application deadline is Tuesday, June 30 at 11:59 p.m. (ET).
