The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting seeks fall, spring and summer semester interns to help get the word out about our international reporting projects.
The Pulitzer Center is a non-profit leader in sponsoring the independent journalism that media organizations are increasingly less willing to undertake on their own. Pulitzer Center-funded stories shed light on under-reported issues and regions around the globe. Our Global Gateway educational initiative then brings those stories and the journalists into high schools and universities.
With the aim of increasing the reach of our reporting projects and expanding the debate around these international issues, the intern’s main duties will include:
• maintenance of our website
• maintenance of our online profiles and channels (including YouTube Channel)
• outreach to the online world, including blogs and social networking sites
• compilation of newsletters
• efforts to increase online traffic and expand newsletter subscription base
• assistance with event coordination
Not required but desirable: familiarity with HTML, familiarity with the blogosphere, and experience with increasing web traffic through campaigns such as Google Adwords and social networking sites. Applicants should also have an interest in, and some familiarity with, current international affairs.
For more information about our work, please browse through our website. The Pulitzer Center is located in the heart of Washington, D.C, near Dupont Circle. One internship position offered each semester pays $1,000 a month.
Those interested in applying should send their applications to: jobs@pulitzercenter.org with the subject line indicating "Internship" and whether for summer, fall or spring. Tell us where your interests lie, and what talents you can bring to the Pulitzer Center. Please include a one-page resume, brief writing sample of no more than three pages, and a list of three references including their phone numbers or email addresses.
