Business Insider
As an intern at Business Insider, there's no getting coffee, filing, or making copies.
Our interns are an integral part of our team. Many of our current writers and editors started as interns.
BI Interns spend their time doing meaningful work: researching, writing, pitching and producing features -- even breaking news if the timing's right.
Interns are encouraged to work full-time (40 hours a week) if their schedule allows.
Other perks? We have tons of free snacks and drinks, a great office environment, and a ping-pong table where we hold quarterly tournaments.
When it comes to qualifications, a journalism background and experience writing for a news site always helps, as do copy-editing skills and light HTML and Photoshop experience. Knowledge of social media and previous writing experience are both useful, too.
Verticals looking for help this fall include:
Main Page
Entertainment/Life
Lists
Science/Health
Politics
Finance
Sports
Apply here with a resume and cover letter if interested. Please also briefly describe which one or two BI section(s) interest you most and why.
And, please note: this internship requires that you work in our Manhattan office. The internship term runs for approximately six months, with some flexibility on start and end dates.
