Deadline: 15 December 2012
Open to: young journalists or recent graduates of journalism, economics, business or languages.
Remuneration: unspecified
Description
Want to cover the biggest news stories of the day? Fascinated by financial markets and economic fluctuations? Reuters Journalism Programme is offering the opportunity of a career in journalism with the world’s largest international multimedia news agency with 160 years’ experience and an enviable reputation for speed, accuracy and market impact.
The Reuters Journalism Programme, operating out of London, New York and Singapore, seeks candidates with the drive to become first-rate journalists and the skill to connect news events with the dynamics of the international financial markets.
Trainees will take part in several weeks of intensive classroom training then work on reporting teams in their regional newsrooms in London, New York and across Asia. You will hit the ground running — reporting and delivering news stories to exacting Thomson Reuters standards.
After the nine-month programme, trainees who meet the performance standards will move to staff positions. They will be placed in one of Reuters’ 200 newsrooms dotted across the globe, subject to business needs and language skills, and assigned a mentor to help guide their career with Reuters.
Eligibility
Are you a good fit? Reuters is looking for:
- Early-career journalists and financial professionals or final year students/recent graduates of journalism, economics, business or languages.
- A passion for journalism, with evidence of editorial work experience.
- Fluency in more than one language is a distinct advantage. Arabic, Russian, Mandarin or German are particularly welcome.
- A proven interest in financial news and grasp of key economic trends.
- A strong academic record at the bachelor’s or master’s degree level.
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to take part in interviews and assessment events. The number of trainees offered positions will depend on the quality of the applicants and the business needs of Thomson Reuters in the recruitment year.

The internships are paid, but it is not specified exactly how much. Remember, however that the Reuters organization is a highly respected name in journalism. You can consult their website for more information, or try sending an email to general.info@thomsonreuters.com to find more specifics from them. Good luck!

Is the Europe job not avaiable? I can only find the US and Asia job.
Dear Daan,
The programme for Europe is probably available. The deadline is for few days. At the very button of this page: http://jobs.thomsonreuters.com/go/Reuters-Journal… , you have the three open calls. The third one is for Europe (London,UK) and if you click you have instructions on how to apply and additional "apply now" button.
Kind regards,

I'm interested in the training program in Europe, which had a deadline for application until December the 15th. I can no longer see the application link. Is this position still open or is there some technical issue? If it is a rolling admission process you have not mentioned it anywhere. I hope I still get a chance to apply.
Best regards,
Georgi Stoyanov
Dear Georgi,
If you press the "available here" link the application section of our post, you will access this page: http://jobs.thomsonreuters.com/go/Reuters-Journal…. At the bottom of the page, you have the three links to the three different programmes. This is the one for Europe: http://jobs.thomsonreuters.com/job/30-South-Colon… (you shouldn't have any problems opening it, maybe you should try a different browser). You have the application instruction here and the apply now button as well, which also works.
Kind regards,
Mladiinfo team
What time, time zone and what day is the deadline? The website says the fourteenth, the flyer says the fifteenth.
Hello Hannah-
You are correct in that there are different dates on the website and flyer. Therefore I would advise you to submit your application as early as possible and by tomorrow 14 December.
Kind regards,

Dear,
Is it still possible to apply for this job, as it is said that applications are accepted until 31st December?
Kind regards,

Dear Amela,
Unfortunately, the open call had its deadline on 15th December. It's unlikely that you can still apply for this job.
