Job Description

Mediaite is now accepting intern applications for the Spring 2021 semester, beginning in January. The ideal candidate is a current college or graduate student looking for hands-on writing and research experience at a news and politics site.

As an intern, you’ll gain vital experience working for a digital media outlet. Tasks include copy editing, researching, transcribing, and the opportunity to write for Mediaite. You will have the chance to contribute to stories for our site that millions of people will see. English, Journalism, or Political Science degrees are especially encouraged to apply.

We are accepting candidates who can work from wherever — this internship can be virtual or in person at our offices in New York City.

This is a for credit intern position – so talk to your school – and yes, several of our full-time editors over the years began in the intern program!
