Our philosophy: holistic benefits package

Here at Dow Jones we care for our people holistically. Whether it’s yoga classes on our 3rd floor New York office, fresh fruit at The Wall Street Journal snack bar, or an on-site day care center at our Princeton office – we care about you AND your family.

It starts here at Dow Jones:

We’ve created an open space – devoid of walls, barriers and offices to create a sense of community among our employees. Our on-site events (Digital Journalism conference, Women in Communications panel), pizza days, Blue Bottle espresso offerings and volunteer opportunities connect you with the broader vision of who we are as a global 5,000 strong news organization.

It evolves with your changing lifestyle:

Happy people are more productive, more creative and more insightful. Though a gym may suit your needs now, in 20 years’ time you’ll be thinking about elderly care for your parents. We know this, which is why our coverage includes care-taking resources for the aging.

Your contributions matter. Our benefits package is just another way we say “thank you.”

  • Cordelia

    Everyone at DJ is accessible. Our open seating plan facilitates the focus on collaboration. At any time you can schedule an appointment with someone who works in a department you’re interested in. You can join the mentoring program or even participate in the many professional development courses provided.​ DJ is a launching pad where executives encourage, even their EAs, to join meetings and share ideas.​ The opportunities are truly endless.

  • Valeria

    Valeria , Marketing

    Dow Jones is a global company with employees working together across many time zones. It’s important to embrace this kind of collaboration and always think about how what you’re doing will benefit the ultimate business goals. It’s also crucial to always be customer-centric because without our customers we wouldn’t exist.

Internships

An internship at Dow Jones is not only about you – what you contribute individually, but also about how you function, interact and thrive on a team. Here at Dow Jones we value interns: your fresh perspectives, differing approaches, and “hey, let’s give this a try” attitude. We need your skills, innovative ideas and unique backgrounds to help us navigate the ever changing media/ news landscape.

Dow Jones News Fund—Summer Internship Programs

The Dow Jones News Fund offers five summer internship programs, in partnership with a variety of media companies, to college juniors, seniors and graduate students interested in pursuing journalism careers.

November 1 is the deadline to apply for these paid jobs. Applicants apply on the web at dowjonesnewsfund.org. A one-hour test is also required. Students may apply for all of the programs simultaneously.

  • The Digital Media Program provides summer jobs at news organizations creating digital products, producing multimedia components, managing social media, analyzing web traffic and a wide array of other duties.

The Programs

If you apply to one of our internship programs, you’ll be joining a group of highly entrepreneurial, driven and yet collegial news junkies. We live and breathe news. We are up for the challenge of re-thinking the news business. And we do this in an open plan office with lots of coffee and lots of teamwork.

Recruiting Events

A Returnship is an opportunity for professionals who have not been in the workforce for at least two years due to child-care, family care, and other life events, to transition back into a professional setting. Finding a job after taking time off can be very difficult. The Dow Jones Returnship program gives returning professionals an opportunity for a fresh start. Participants of the Returnship would go through the 12-week paid program to gain new experience to help bridge the gap in their professional background. This type of program has several similarities to internships as we know them today, with the major differences being the candidate’s age, experience, pay-expectations, and sourcing methods.
