Promoting Careers in Journalism

The Dow Jones News Fund and American City Business Journals gave me a new perspective on how to be a good reporter. They prepared me for my career.

DJNF supported me with training through IRE and a data reporting internship on an investigative team. The experience was invaluable. It helped me make great industry connections and land multiple jobs on other investigative teams.

My DJNF internship opened so many doors for me, and it’s also a point of professional pride for me. The skills I learned and the confidence I gained are unparalleled.

The Fund’s editing internship program was my gateway to a full-time copy editing job — and ultimately an immensely fulfilling 22-year career — at The Wall Street Journal.

The DJNF internship was my newspaper dream come true, a strong foundational experience that led to immediate job offers and early career success.

DJNF not only introduced me to an amazing group of people, but it also made me a better journalist.
