The Financial Times is one of the world's leading news organisations, recognised internationally for its authority, integrity and accuracy. It is part of Nikkei Inc., which provides a broad range of information, news and services for the global business community.
The aim of each newsroom internship is to give the applicant a practical and otherwise privileged insight into the world of journalism. The programme as a whole allows candidates to work with some of the highest calibre journalists in the field on a multi-edition global publication.
This programme is designed to introduce graduates to careers in journalism by exposing them to the functioning of a 24-hour global newsroom. The Financial Times is focused on distributing the highest quality business news and analysis. Those chosen will be expected to play an active role in the paper, assisting the reporters and editors wherever necessary. Interns will have the opportunity to attend the editorial news conference and gain experience in one of the following areas:
FT Special Reports
Comment and Analysis
Executive Appointments
EligibilityRequirements
Enthusiasm for journalism and specifically the FT as a product is the most important requirement for the internship. However, the selection process is competitive and most of those chosen would have had prior experience with either broadsheets or local newspapers.
Successful candidates would have some financial knowledge, and have a genuine interest in business, economics and current affairs. Ideally writing samples (publishedunpublished) that demonstrate a clear dedication to business journalism would need to be supplied.
Important Information:
Internships are open to graduates and will usually last for a period of four weeks. Applicants must be eligible to live and work in the United Kingdom. Please see FAQs for more information.
