Respective deadlines are November 1, March 1, and July 1. Unpaid.
Interns work closely with editors in all phases of production; duties range from handling phones and photocopying to research, reporting, writing, and fact-checking. Excellent opportunity to contribute to cjr.org.
Major qualification: strong interest in news and public affairs, as demonstrated through academic study and/or extracurricular work.
