Paid Journalism Internship in Washington, D.C.
Since 1977, the National Journalism Center, a project of Young America's Foundation, has
provided aspiring conservative journalists with the premier opportunity to learn the principles and practice of responsible reporting. The National Journalism Center combines 12 weeks of on-the-job training at a Washington, D.C.-based media outlet and once-weekly training seminars led by prominent journalists, policy experts, and NJC faculty.
The program matches interns with print, broadcast, or online media outlets based on their interests and experience. Interns spend an average of 30-35 hours per week gaining practical, hands-on journalism experience. Potential placements include the Washington Times, the Washington Examiner, C-SPAN, Fox News, and more.
Students will attend the NJC seminar one day a week, sharpening their writing and reporting skills and gaining a better understanding of media, society, and public policy, and the intersection between the three in Washington, D.C. and nationwide.

You guys pay, right? RIGHT?!
That's right! Interns are paid $16 per hour. Interns will also be paid a $500 signing bonus to help them get settled while waiting for their first paycheck.
What's the selection process?
After you email us a resume, cover letter, contact information for two references and three examples of your work, you'll receive an email thanking you for your application. Our selection committee will then read through all the applications. We’ll reduce the list to several finalists.
If you’re one of the finalists, you'll get an email from us a week or two after the relevant application deadline. Over email, we'll figure out a good time for a few folks from the Center to conduct a Skype interview with you. Be prepared to talk about how you can help the Center for Public Integrity. Shortly after that, we’ll make our decisions. We’ll follow up with all our finalists.
I’m still not sure whether I’m good enough to apply. Should I?

We can’t promise that we’ll hire you but we can promise this: If you follow the instructions outlined on this page, we will give your application serious consideration. So if you’re on the fence about applying, please go ahead and send that application in. We want to see it. And good luck!
