Journalism Internship

Media Organization: Amsterdam News

Company Description

New York City's oldest Black newspaper offering the "New Black View" within local, national and international news.

Job Description

Applications are now open for our Virtual Spring Internship Program.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are offering virtual internships at this time. However, we will ask students to come into the office if we feel it is safe. In that scenario, we will open our office to students with precautionary measures in accordance with CDC guidelines.

Intern positions are available in our editorial and digital departments. Amsterdam News interns must be located in the New York City-area and have a passion for writing about the Black community.

Our Spring internships are for-credit and will last 13 weeks (10-20hrs/week).

Students are required to have access to a reliable internet source and their own computer or laptop. Students will also be required to participate in weekly video conference meetings with staff, editors and the internship coordinator.

To Apply

Applicants must submit a résumé, LinkedIn profile, cover letter and three writing samples to internships@amsterdamnews.com.

Interviews will be conducted via Zoom and those selected will begin their internship in January. I look forward to hearing from your students.
