The New Republic is looking for reporter-researchers either for the spring/summer internship, or for the 2005-2006 internship program. Job duties include reporting, research, and fact-checking for TNR stories, as well as occasional clerical tasks. Reporter-researchers get to work with writers, editors, and have an open invitation to pitch magazine or web articles. Political journalism experience is preferred (but not imperative); fluency with LexisNexis and other search techniques is mandatory. The spring/summer internship begins on February 1 and lasts until Labor Day. The 2005-2006 yearlong internship beings in late summer 2005. Both positions pay $264 (plus substantial overtime) per week with health insurance. Please email the following items to Adam Kushner at jobs@tnr.com.
