Job description

Job Description

Help shape the future of news in California. For over two centuries, the New York Post has been at the forefront of breaking news, entertainment, sports, politics, lifestyle, commerce, and digital innovation. As one of the country's largest and fastest growing multimedia organizations, we reach millions of readers and viewers every day across our portfolio of brands, including the New York Post, California Post, Page Six, Decider, and Post Sports.

The California Post is the West Coast newsroom from the New York Post, delivering original reporting, breaking news, entertainment, sports, lifestyle, and culture coverage tailored to California audiences. Backed by one of America's most iconic media organizations, we’re building a modern, digital first newsroom that moves fast, embraces innovation, and gives journalists the opportunity to make an immediate impact.

Unlike larger, more established newsrooms, the California Post offers interns the chance to roll up their sleeves and gain real newsroom experience from day one. You’ll work alongside experienced editors, reporters, producers, and digital journalists, contribute to live coverage, attend editorial meetings, pitch ideas, and develop the skills needed to launch a successful career in journalism. This is an internship where you do more than observe.

Whether your goal is to become a reporter, editor, digital producer, or newsroom leader, this is an outstanding opportunity to build your resume, strengthen your portfolio, earn college credit, and gain hands on experience at one of the country's fastest growing media organizations.
