The POLITICO Journalism Institute (PJI) is accepting applications for its seventh annual session, a 10-day intensive training program. Accepted college students spend half of their time in classroom sessions with professionals from various newsrooms and on outings to learn what it is like to do journalism in the nation's capital. Outings include tours to the White House press area and Congressional Press Gallery, other newsrooms and the National Press Club. The rest of the time, students work in the POLITICO newsroom, where they are assigned to an editor and reporter mentor as they report their own politics or policy stories. Each student has the opportunity to have their work published on the POLITICO site. All expenses are paid by POLITICO (including housing, meals, transportation and a stipend. Many who attend this and other POLITICO training programs go on to land internships or jobs at POLITICO or in other newsrooms. Students who are juniors or seniors (by Fall 2020), recent grads and graduate students are encouraged to apply. The mission of this program is to promote diversity throughout D.C.-area newsrooms.
