Spring Reporting Internship

Why make coffee when you can make headlines? The Institute for Humane Studies is seeking experienced student journalists for our paid internship program in the spring, summer, and fall.

The internship begins with a weeklong workshop covering advanced journalism topics ranging from policy analysis to understanding statistics. After the workshop, interns spend eight weeks reporting at a daily paper or state think tank. Interns last summer averaged 20 professional clips and made invaluable contacts.

Placements range from Orange County to New York City to the Mexican border. For more information about internship locations, visit www.TheIHS.org/journalism.

Ideal candidates will have significant student newspaper experience and an interest in free-markets and individual liberty. Advanced undergraduates, recent graduates, and graduate students are encouraged to apply. Interns should have access to a car. The program will run early June to mid August (exact dates vary by placement). Interns will receive free travel and housing during the seminar week, a stipend to cover travel to the internship site, and payment for their reporting work.

Application materials must be submitted through www.TheIHS.org/journalism and received by November 15 for spring placements or by January 31 for summer placements. Applying for this internship will also allow you to apply for our broadcast journalism internships. Applications submitted through email or fax will not be considered.
