Requirements

  • You should be creative, innovative and agile. Skills in more than one format (text, photo, video, audio and data) are a plus. Strong interpersonal, organizational and planning skills are a must, as is a deep interest in the news and current affairs.
  • We are seeking intern candidates who have demonstrated the potential to work effectively in a deadline-driven, dynamic and competitive newsroom and field environment. AP interns should have experience working in college media, as a freelancer or as an intern for another news organization. You must be a self-starter with the ability to collaborate effectively and inclusively on teams.
  • We will consider strong candidates who do not meet every listed qualification. You may use your essay to describe the unique qualifications you would bring to this role.
  • Eligibility:
  • Applicants must be recent graduates (fall semester 2023 and thereafter), current full-time students within two years of earning an undergraduate degree (juniors and seniors) or current full-time graduate students.
  • You must have authorization to work in the country you are assigned to for six months in 2024.
  • You should have advanced-level professional competency in written and spoken English and/or the language of an assigned country. Professional competency in an additional language is a plus.

Responsibilities

  • As an intern on the Race & Ethnicity team, you’ll join a diverse group of journalists based in locations across the country to tell stories about culture, complex histories and ongoing struggles with issues of race and ethnicity in the U.S. You’ll be expected to help with breaking news coverage and pitch stories and have ideas for one or more series about race that amplifies the team’s work. The Race & Ethnicity intern should expect to be based in New York, Washington, D.C. or Chicago. This is a staff position covered by AP’s agreement with the News Media Guild.
  • An internship at AP is a full-time, paid, working experience, with successful applicants offered the opportunity of joining news gathering and production colleagues to create and craft our daily all-formats news report. We are seeking strong storytellers who demonstrate solid news judgment and are eager to put what they have learned in an academic environment into professional practice. AP’s internship program also seeks to provide opportunities for journalists from nations other than the U.S. to work for a global news agency in their home countries. Interns will be paired with a mentor/coach who will offer training and guidance throughout the program. Women and people of color are encouraged to apply.
