PCIM Sponsors Independent Journalism Summer Internship Opportunity

by | Apr 7, 2022 | News

The Park Center for Independent Media is proud to sponsor a summer internship program aimed at giving justice-oriented students the opportunity to work at some of the best independent/progressive media institutions and advocacy nonprofits in the nation.

In recent summers, students have worked at many leading independent media organizations and progressive nonprofits such as FAIR, Mother Jones, The Nation, and The Laura Flanders Show. Participating students are awarded financial stipends of up to $3,000.

Students are expected to work at the internship a minimum of 25 hours per week, at least 8 weeks (with some exceptions). Interns will be selected for the program through a competitive application process – requiring a minimum 3.25 GPA and a minimum of 45 credit hours earned by the time the internship begins.

Students interested in interning with an independent media outlet this summer should apply soon! There are limited spots available.

To apply please download an internship application on the PCIM website under ‘Internships’.
