WBD Academic Year Internships; WAY): CNN ATL News - Fall

Welcome to Warner Bros. Discovery… the stuff dreams are made of.

When we say, “the stuff dreams are made of,” we’re not just referring to the world of wizards, dragons and superheroes, or even to the wonders of Planet Earth. Behind WBD’s vast portfolio of iconic content and beloved brands, are the storytellers bringing our characters to life, the creators bringing them to your living rooms and the dreamers creating what’s next…

From brilliant creatives, to technology trailblazers, across the globe, WBD offers career defining opportunities, thoughtfully curated benefits, and the tools to explore and grow into your best selves. Here you are supported, here you are celebrated, here you can thrive.

We are excited to offer the Warner Brothers Discovery Academic Year Internship Program (WAY) for the  academic year. This six-month internship, running from the fall through the spring semester, is designed for high-performing rising seniors to be placed into extended internship opportunities. Interns will enhance their professional skills and deepen their understanding of our businesses and culture, ideally positioning themselves for future post-grad opportunities to continue their growth and success.

Please note that while this internship is an excellent way to prepare for a potential career at WBD, participation in the program does not guarantee a future job offer. However, this role is an excellent opportunity to be considered for the CNN News Associate Program or an entry level CNN role.

We may have multiple WAY internship opportunities available. By applying to this posting, you will be considered for multiple WAY internship opportunities located in the ATL area. The selected interns will be expected to join us in the office on a regular cadence based on the intern manager’s in office schedule.
