INTERNSHIPS

WSI's internship program was created over 15 years ago.  We believe that interns are an integral part of WSI’s success.  WSI and its divisions offer paid, full-time internships in research, television, computer/web editing, communications, and more in our Washington, D.C., office. Competition for the few spots available generally is very tough.

Internships are open to recent graduates, graduate students, and highly qualified undergraduates with a strong interest in military policy, national security, foreign affairs, or related public policy issues who are willing to undertake some small administrative tasks. While course work in these areas is not required, strong writing capabilities, prior experience in WSI’s issue areas, and solid computer skills are appreciated. We encourage anyone who is interested in the work of WSI to apply.  U.S. citizenship is not required; however, interns must be able to provide proof at the time of their application that they may work legally in the United States.

Fall 2009 Internships:

Pulitzer Center Fall 2009 Internship: 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 underreported 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 traffic to 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 visit http://www.pulitzercenter.org/. The Pulitzer Center is located in the heart of Washington, D.C, near Dupont Circle. The internship pays $1,000 a month.

Those interested in applying should send their application materials to Ann Peters, director of development and outreach, at apeters@pulitzercenter.org.  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 phone numbers and email addresses. APPLICATION DEADLINE IS JUNE 19, 2009.

Pulitzer Center Liason: The Pulitzer Center also seeks campus liaisons who promote at their colleges and universities Pulitzer Center sponsored reporting, plan Pulitzer Center events, identify teachers covering related subject matters, and coordinate interaction between relevant classes and Pulitzer Center journalists via their weblogs and reports.  If you are interested in becoming a Pulitzer Liaison on your campus, please send us a one-page cover letter explaining why you would be a good fit for this role. Be sure to specify at least three ideas you would hope to implement as Pulitzer Center Liaison to promote our work. Be as specific as possible when referring to your past experiences, current responsibilities and related skills. We are appointing qualified students as Pulitzer Center Liaisons on a rolling basis. Send your letters to Ann Peters, Director of Development and Outreach, at apeters@pulitzercenter.org.
