CNN internship application 2026 – Global programming

The CNN programming and distribution team is responsible for editing the presentation of CNN’s content on its digital platforms (on desktop, mobile and the app). We decide which stories should lead platforms and how they should be communicated to audiences.

We work very closely with editors in the London bureau, to make sure we are across content that is coming from our reporters across the world and engaging with our audiences as effectively as possible. Our intern will craft and test compelling homepage headlines and write engaging push alerts for our feature content as well as edit the CNN homepages on either desktop, mobile web, or the app.

Apply below by 22 May. You must be a Journalism Diversity Fund recipient with no more than two years’ experience working in journalism. Email [email protected] with any questions.
