Apply Here

Sharpen your journalism skills during a paid internship in print, broadcast, or investigative journalism during the fall, spring or summer.

The IHS Journalism Internship Program offers internships at newspapers, major media networks and state-based policy organizations. Past interns have worked at 20/20, the Orange County Register, CNN, Fox News, and many other companies and organizations.

We're looking for skilled writers passionate about liberty and who support individual rights and free markets. Previous experience is a plus but not required. We encourage students from all disciplines, including political science and economics, to apply. Undergraduates, graduate students, and recent graduates of all majors are eligible.

As part of the internship program, you’ll attend a weeklong, summer journalism workshop during the summer of 2010. You’ll receive career advice from experienced journalists, learn economic tools for understanding political and economic issues, and explore the foundations of a free press. IHS provides travel assistance to the workshop.

During your internship, an IHS staff member, with years of journalism experience, will check in with you to provide tips on how to make the most of your internship.

Choose from three internship tracks:

Newspaper: Work in the newsroom of a daily newspaper. Publish twenty clips or more. 

Broadcast Journalism: Work with an experienced producer at a major media network or news production house. 

Investigative Journalism: Develop your research and analytical skills working under the guidance of a professional investigative journalist at a state-based public policy organization. 

A Comprehensive Program 

  • Eight-week internship with a $3,200 stipend and a travel allowance
