Gales Summer Internship

Thomas A. Gales Internship for Latin American Studies

LATIN TRADE is pleased to announce the Thomas A. Gales Scholarship for Latin American Studies, a single, paid summer internship lasting 10 weeks at our Coral Gables office, in the editorial department.

The internship begins June 5 and ends August 11.

All applications will be considered. However, an ideal candidate is a recent graduate of a journalism program or a graduate student of journalism from any country in the Americas who is interested in learning magazine reporting and production. Applicants with clips from previous internships or student publications should prepare no more than two samples (do not send originals).

Regarding language, LATIN TRADE publishes in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Applicants must speak and read at least two of our publishing languages, although writing need only be in one language. Although there is a stipend, the applicant will have to be ready to work legally in the United States and to finance his or her own travel.

Thomas A. Gales is Vice President for the Latin America Division of Caterpillar. In 2005, he won the LATIN TRADE Bravo Business Awards as International CEO of the Year. In keeping with Caterpillar’s corporate philosophy regarding education and opportunity, the company afterward elected to fund an annual internship through the magazine.

LATIN TRADE is the leading pan-regional magazine covering trade and business in Latin America, circulating throughout the region and around the globe to an estimated 350,000 readers. The magazine is published monthly in Spanish, Portuguese and English and on the Web at www.latintrade.com. Its pages are reported and designed to inform executives, entrepreneurs and policymakers across the region, the people whose decisions affect the lives of 550 million Latin Americans.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: April 30

STIPEND: US$4,000

Send resume and no more than two clips by e-mail to internships@latintrade.com. Regular mail to

Be an intern

Latin Trade offers two kinds of internships:

1) newsroom slots that combine light clerical work with reporting, editing and writing opportunities

2) research positions that require data-gathering skills and comfort with basic financial software such as spreadsheets and online databases.

Latin Trade internships are primarily for students who get credit at their universities for the work or are recent graduates seeking experience. Except for the one summer position, they are unpaid and last 90 days. When an internship ends, the holder typically has another internship arranged or has found a job elsewhere. We are not a large organization and cannot, obviously, hire most of our interns.

Regarding language, we are produced in English, Spanish and Portuguese. If you cannot speak at least two of these languages fluently, your value to us as an intern is limited and we do not recommend that you apply.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: Summer internship (paid), April 30. Fall internship, July 30. Spring internship, Oct. 30.

Specify whether you would like an editorial or research position.
