The American Journalism Center offers internships in journalism, public relations, and marketing to conservative college students. All of our internships are flexible with regard to length of time and number of hours worked per week, which allows students to take classes while completing their internship. Interns will work at the Washington, DC offices of Accuracy in Media and Accuracy in Academia, which are accessible by Metro. In addition to their duties at AIM and AIA, American Journalism Center interns will attend lectures, briefings, and conferences hosted by top government and policy organizations.

While these positions do require some experience in their respective fields, we welcome applications from students in any academic field who feel they may benefit from interning with AIM. We are looking for students who are energetic, well-rounded and willing to tackle a number of different tasks or projects. Previous writing experience is strongly recommended for journalism interns. We welcome high school, college, and graduate students, as well as those recently graduated from college to apply.

Internships are unpaid.
