Scripps Howard Nonprofit Newsroom Internship Program

The Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting is proud to announce that it will partner with news organizations across the country to offer 17 investigative reporting internships to collegiate journalists and recent college graduates during the summer of 2025.

This reflects an increase of six internships from 2024, and that number could grow before the selection process concludes. Two of the internships will be exclusively remote.

The internship places students in paid 10-12 week assignments working alongside investigative reporters and editors at some of the nation’s top news organizations. Students from traditionally underrepresented groups and those attending HBCUs and MSIs are especially encouraged to apply.

Deadline has been extended to January 31!

On Wednesday, January 22, we will have a virtual info session about the process. Also, managers from the hiring newsrooms will be available for Q & A with applicants. 

We ask that students register here.
