Internship, Pulitzer Center, Washington, D.C.
Organization: Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting
Area of Focus: International Relations, Media and Journalism
Paid or unpaid: Paid
Description:
The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting seeks an intern for the spring semester, preferably starting January 3, 2008. We are especially interested in web-savvy applicants eager to get the word out about our international reporting projects through the Internet and special events.
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 education initiative then brings those stories and the journalists into high schools and universities.
For information on our reporting projects and outreach efforts please see our website, at www.pulitzercenter.org The Pulitzer Center is located in the heart of Washington, D.C., near Dupont Circle.
The internship pays $1,000 per month.
End date may be negotiable so long as there can be overlap with the summer intern.
Application instructions:
Send letter telling us where your interests lie, and what talents you can bring to the Pulitzer Center. Please include a resume, brief writing sample, and list of references.
Applications should be sent to Ann Peters, director of development and outreach, at apeters@pulitzercenter.org
