Mail looking for trainee journalists in New York

Last year's trainees in the Mail's New York newsroom
How's this for a great opportunity? The world's biggest newspaper website is looking for trainee digital journalists to work in its New York office. 


For 13 years I have been helping train journalists for the Mail's graduate scheme. This includes trainees for the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday and MailOnlineMany of those who have passed through the scheme are now senior journalists and executives. Many have won top national awards. Two years ago we began recruiting trainees for the American operation. Ten trainees have so far taken part in the global exchange programme and they work for DailyMail.com in New York.

We are now looking for this year’s intake - bright, sharp, intelligent journalists with the passion and hunger to break global stories. If you are a good wordsmith who also enjoys storytelling in other digital formats including video, social media, data, live blogging and interactive graphics, we would love to hear from you. 
The training will start in the summer. 
Some of it will be in London and there will be placements in newsrooms across the UK. The trainees will return to New York or LA at the beginning of 2017 and there may then be opportunities to work at the Mail's offices across the world.
All trainees are paid a competitive salary while they train.
To be a successful applicant you will need to be an American citizen. You will probably have completed journalism training at university, have experience of working in a newsroom and had articles published.
If you fancy it, send a covering letter, a CV and links to three examples of your work to sue.ryan@dailymail.co.uk. Interviews will be held in New York on March 29-April 1 and on April 4 ... so get your applications in asap.
