About the role

A newspaper organization in Dubuque, Iowa, is looking for a talented intern to join its news reporting team. As part of this paid full-time internship, you'll cover various news stories and gain hands-on experience in journalism. Internships typically run for 10 weeks, providing an opportunity to meet your college's requirements. This role offers the chance to work in a dynamic newsroom environment and build a strong portfolio of work.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
