Description
The IHS Journalism Internship Program places talented writers and communicators—who support individual liberty, free markets, and peace—at media companies and non-profit newsrooms. Past interns have worked at 20/20, the The Orange County Register, Reason.TV, Fox News, and many other organizations. Internships occur during the spring, summer, and fall.

A Comprehensive Program

* Eight-week internship at a newspaper, radio station, new media company, or non-profit, investigative newsroom
* $3,200 stipend and an allowance for travel to internship and program seminar
* Mentoring and job placement assistance from the program director, a former journalist
* Journalism seminar featuring journalists and professors, and many networking opportunities

The program includes our weeklong journalism seminar, Journalism & a Free Society. Experienced journalists share career stories and advice, and outstanding professors explain the foundations of a free press and economic tools for understanding political and economic issues. You can network with other interns and the faculty during meals, discussion groups, and nightly receptions. IHS provides travel assistance to the workshop. All program interns from throughout the year—fall, spring, and summer—attend.
Required Skills
* Most accepted applicants have attended an IHS Summer Seminar, either Journalism & a Free Society or another seminar.
* Previous journalism experience is a plus but not required. Skilled writers and communicators passionate about liberty are encouraged to apply.
* A journalism major is not necessary. Students from all disciplines, including political science and economics, are eligible.
* The program is open to undergraduates, graduate students, and recent graduates.
* Due to visa and travel costs, most interns live in the United States. Almost all internship hosts require English fluency, written and spoken.
* You must be able to work full-time, for forty hours per week. You cannot take classes during the internship. You may apply to obtain course credit from your academic institution.
