The paid internships are a crash
course in hands-on business, political
and general news reporting. Every
intern will report to a senior editor
and be assigned a journalist mentor
to provide advice and guidance
during the summer. They’re expected
to write regularly and deliver in-depth
stories during their assignment.
Interns will receive several days of
formal training before they start
work, focused on writing skills,
journalism ethics, and basic financial
knowledge. They may also be able to
take advantage of other, regularly
scheduled training opportunities
during the summer, depending on
where they’re based.
Interns who excel may be considered
for other opportunities, including the
Reuters Journalism Trainee Program
or junior reporting roles. The
intensive Journalism Trainee
Program, which begins in September
2012 in New York, London and
Singapore, offers nine months of
training and leads into a staff job if
required standards are met.
THE TIMELINE www.careers.thomsonreuters.com
” The Reuters internship program
was a great platform for me to
report on the breaking news of
the day and proved a wonderful
training ground for my career
ahead. In the past year I have
covered the U.S. debt ceiling
debacle, the Middle East
uprisings, IMF-World Bank
meetings, and spent a month
helping out the Tokyo bureau
with their coverage of the
Fukushima nuclear disaster .”
