The Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting invites applications from college juniors, seniors, graduate students, and recent graduates for its Summer 2024 Investigative Reporting Internship Program.

​

The internship places students in paid 10- to 12-week assignments working alongside investigative reporters and editors at some of the nation’s top news organizations. Students from traditionally underrepresented groups and those attending HBCUs and MSIs are especially encouraged to apply.

​

All internships are paid at the standard rate of the respective news organization, but an additional stipend from the Society will be available to interns to help cover travel and housing costs. Interns will be responsible for making their own housing and travel arrangements.

This non-degree program allows fellows to deepen their knowledge of the environment through courses, weekly seminars, and field trips. The program is open to all full-time U.S. print or broadcast journalists interested in deepening and broadening their knowledge of environmental issues. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, have a minimum of 5 years of full-time professional journalism experience, and have completed an undergraduate degree.
