Bloomberg BNA is proud to offer internship opportunities for college students throughout the year. We offer paid internships to students interested in journalism or publishing. Interns assist the news and editorial staffs of BNA's publications.

Bloomberg BNA's editorial internships offer students exciting opportunities to report on developments in federal government. Interns have the opportunity to participate in publication operations while improving their writing and reporting skills under deadline pressure.

Interns write news stories from press releases, reports, speeches, testimony, or other documents. Interns may also attend hearings and press conferences at the U.S. Capitol and executive branch agencies.

Other editorial work may include compiling daily calendar items, reviewing wire service copy for relevant information, and adapting news items from other Bloomberg BNA publications.

Juniors who have completed basic reporting and English composition will receive first consideration. Interested students must provide a resume and four writing samples, preferably published, hard news clips. In addition, applicants must be able to type. They will be trained to use Bloomberg BNA's electronic publishing system.

During the school year, interns work 15 - 18 hours per week. All internships are at Bloomberg BNA headquarters in Crystal City, VA. During the summer, Bloomberg BNA also offers internship opportunities to students attending law school. These interns are assigned to write headnotes summarizing court decisions, or to write news stories on court decisions. Applicants with experience in legal research and writing for college-level publications will receive first consideration.

Interns gain benefits in the form of hands-on job experience, contacts for exploring future career opportunities, and samples of the work they complete on the job. Some colleges and universities give academic credit for completing the internship.

Students interested in applying for internships may send their resumes to interns@bna.com.
