Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) is currently accepting applications for Spring internships at our Manhattan office.
Interns have opportunities to develop writing, research and communications skills, and to acquire knowledge of both corporate and independent media. Many are undergraduate or graduate students from journalism/media studies or closely related programs, but we welcome all motivated applicants, particularly those who demonstrate strong knowledge of FAIR’s work and skills like writing, proofreading and critical thinking. We particularly encourage women, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people to apply.
Responsibilities vary, but usually include fact-checking, research, writing, web support and very occasional administrative tasks. We will establish educational goals and projects based on the intern’s interests and abilities.
Interns work a minimum of 16 hours per week, in person. Students who wish to obtain course credit will have our full cooperation in meeting institutional requirements. FAIR interns receive $16/hour compensation and must arrange their own housing.
For more information, please visit https://fair.org/internship-program/ or email jhollar@fair.org.
I hope you can spread the word widely. Our application deadline is November 15, but we will consider applications on a rolling basis.
Best regards,
Julie
