2024 Melbourne News Internship (Jan 2024)

Bloomberg News is one of the world's leading financial news organizations, delivering fast and accurate information on multiple platforms to the people with the most at stake.

If it impacts markets, we'll be there -- breaking news on companies, economies, commodities and government policy to help our ever-expanding audience stay ahead. We need a constant flow of ideas, energy and innovation -- which is where you come in.

We’re looking for interns who are passionate about telling stories and will seize the opportunity to learn from our award-winning journalists during the 10-week paid internship in Melbourne. You’ll gain hands on reporting experience, conduct exclusive interviews, dig into data and collaborate with colleagues in our bureaus across the world.

Following the internship, you may be offered a full-time role with Bloomberg News. This career-defining opportunity would start with a year-long program in our Sydney office, during which you'd rotate through four core coverage areas to build out your knowledge and skillsets. We operate as one newsroom – a collaborative and diverse environment where print, digital and broadcast come together to produce the most accurate content for our readers.

We’re looking for:

- Final year students (undergraduate or post-graduate) who are Australian citizens or permanent residents
- A passion for journalism demonstrated through work experience or extracurricular activities
- A desire to join the dots on the world's biggest stories across economics, markets, business, finance, technology and government
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
