The Dallas Morning News, Texas’s leading newspaper, offers internships in news, copy editing, business, features, sports and digital design/data. Internships are also available in photography, at the Washington, D.C., bureau and at the Spanish-language publication, Al Día. Most internship periods take place during the summer, however the sports internship occurs during the fall, generally starting around Labor Day.
The Dallas Morning News interns are treated like full-time staffers. They are expected to work in the departments to which they are assigned unless they have prior approval from their supervisor.
Interns will be assigned to report, write, blog, photograph and edit active stories that will be slated for publication in print and/or online under their own names. Interns will be held to the same journalistic standards, quality guidelines and ethics as full-time staffers, including adherence to professional decorum in dress, promptness and courtesy.
Interns are expected to have a basic knowledge of AP style and be able to use social media in their work. The ability to speak another language would be helpful and some familiarity with digital (online) media is necessary.
