Digital Media Newsroom Intern
About The Position
NJ Advance Media is looking for college juniors and seniors, including 2026 graduates, who are eager to gain experience as Digital Media Newsroom Interns. These internships will be 40-hour-per-week paid positions and will span 10 weeks. Those who are selected will be assigned to various teams to learn different aspects of our digital news operation such as breaking news, crime and courts, sports, video, social media, AI-assisted reporting, data and investigations. We believe students looking for a career in a digital newsroom may not always fit the mold of a traditional journalist - think trending writers, social content creators and podcasters. Outside-the-box thinkers and storytellers who fit this description are encouraged to apply. During the course of the program, interns also will have access to training and career-development opportunities. The pay rate for this position is $15.92/hour. This job requires reliable transportation to meet with sources or cover events.
Requirements
- Be incoming juniors or seniors with a major in Journalism, Communications or a related field. We will consider recent graduates, and seniors graduating in May 2026.

- Demonstrated reporting, writing and organizational skills
- Solid understanding of news writing, journalistic ethics and story structure
- Proficiency in social media and digital interaction
- Ability to work remotely as well as in a newsroom setting
