The Park Center for Independent Media sponsors a summer internship program each year aimed at giving justice-oriented students the opportunity to work at independent/progressive media institutions and advocacy nonprofits in the nation.
Participating students are awarded financial stipends (of up to $3,000). In recent summers, students have worked at many leading independent media organizations and progressive nonprofits such as FAIR, Democracy Now!, Mother Jones, and the Institute for Public Accuracy. Our interns also frequently work with local outlets such as The Ithaca Voice and WRFI Community Radio. FAIR and The Progressive are currently accepting applications for summer interns! Info BELOW!
Students are expected to work at the internship a minimum of 25 hours per week, at least 8 weeks (with some exceptions). Students interested in interning with an independent media outlet this summer should apply soon! Applications must be submitted by no later than April 15, 2024.
Please note that students will apply for internships on their own. PCIM can help identify outlets/organizations for which they should contact us.

Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) is currently accepting applications for Summer internships at our Manhattan office.
Internshave opportunities to develop writing, research and communications skills, and to acquire knowledge of both corporate and independent media. Many are undergraduate or graduate students from journalism/media studies or closely related programs, but we welcome all motivated applicants, particularly those who demonstrate strong knowledge of FAIR’s work and skills like writing, proofreading and critical thinking. We particularly encourage women, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people to apply.
Responsibilities vary, but usually include fact-checking, research,writing, web support and very occasional administrative tasks. We will establish educational goals and projects based on the intern’s interests and abilities.
Interns work a minimum of 16 hours per week, in person. Students who wish to obtain course credit will have our full cooperation in meeting institutional requirements. FAIR interns receive $16/hour compensation and must arrange their own housing.
