Established in 1970, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (Reporters Committee) provides pro bono legal representation, support, and other legal resources to protect First Amendment freedoms and the newsgathering rights of journalists. Reporters Committee serves news organizations, reporters, documentary filmmakers, media lawyers, and many more who use its online resources.
The Reporters Committee's development team offers a full-time summer internship for college students and recent graduates. The development intern will have the opportunity to collaborate with staff across the organization (legal, policy, communications, and operations) while researching potential funding sources, shaping concepts for potential donors, and advancing the Reporters Committee's mission to defend journalists and the First Amendment.
Interns will participate in donor prospect research, drafting and editing concepts for potential donors, staffing fundraising and outreach events, and other critical development operations in a small and easily accessible team. Interns will also have opportunities to interact with and learn about free press issues from the Reporters Committee's legal, policy, and communications experts, attend all staff meetings and social activities, and learn about the workings of a development office in a vibrant and rapidly growing national nonprofit organization.
Successful candidates will be detail-oriented, have a strong writing background and be interested in expanding their knowledge about U.S. press freedom and media law issues. An academic or career interest in nonprofit management, journalism, or law is especially welcome.
To apply: Submit a resume, cover letter and a brief writing sample (journalistic or academic is fine) using this SmartRecruiters link. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Applications should be submitted by April 15 for the summer term.
