Applications are now open for the summer 2025 session of the City Limits Accountability Reporting Initiative for Youth (CLARIFY), which trains high school students in public service journalism. The deadline is April 30.
City Limits’ fall 2024 youth reporting interns at a recent field trip to the New York Times’ midtown newsroom.
The City Limits Accountability Reporting Initiative for Youth (CLARIFY) is now accepting applications for its 2025 summer internship. This is a paid journalism training program for New York City high school students grade 10 and up (students graduating from high school this June are also eligible.)
Launched by City Limits in 2014, CLARIFY teaches participants the ins-and-outs of reporting and news writing. Interns will learn a variety of skills: research, interviewing techniques, story structure, media ethics, photojournalism and more. They’ll apply these lessons as they report on important issues impacting their own communities, with an opportunity to see their reporting published in City Limits. Our previous CLARIFY interns have interviewed elected officials, examined the impact of climate change on New Yorkers’ commutes, investigated the city’s cooling centers program during times of extreme heat, and much more.
This summer’s internship will run for six weeks from July 1 to Aug. 7, and meet Monday to Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with additional at-home assignments on Fridays. Interns must be able to commit to attending the entirety of the program.
To apply, complete the application form below by April 30. To read more about the program, click here.
