USA
Today Internship Program
Various sections
within USA TODAY, including its website and TV divisions, need
interns, year-round, in McLean, Va., just outside of Washington,
D.C. Internships are limited to students who will receive academic
credit for their experience. If you have graduated, please instead
go to our job site, and click on Virginia, or visit the Gannett
career site.
In your internship
inquiry, submit your cover letter and resume to each division
that interests you; for instance, if you seek a position on the
website or the TV operation, craft an e-mail to each. If you submit
an application one semester but are not selected, you may reapply,
reiterating your interest, updating your qualifications and detailing
your availability. Occasionally a student can secure an internship
after the initial deadlines, which are summer, Dec. 1; autumn,
April 1; and spring and holiday interim, Oct. 15.
Standard minimum work
commitment is 15-20 hours, two to three days a week for 12 weeks.
Specific hours and days vary with assignments but may include
evening and Sunday hours.
Given our expectations
for polish and execution, print desks prefer previous internship
experience or a leadership role in your campus newspaper and Dot-com
desks prefer Web-friendly seniors and graduate students, but exceptional
underclass students may qualify. While Dot-com internships focus
primarily on editing, rewrite, packaging and enhancing content,
they also include designing the website to include conceptualizing
and creating multimedia graphics, shooting and editing video.
Students with Flash and Action Scripting skills are especially
urged to apply.
