• Fellowships (NYC)

  TPM fellows in our New York office are involved in every aspect of our operation and have a hand in everything we do. They work alongside our reporters to write and break stories, help our editors keep a finger on the pulse of the news day, and produce all kinds of digital media from youtube clips to mash-up photographs. The fellows also attend weekly brown bag lunches with reporters, editors and publishing staff to learn the ins and outs of the new media business.

  Half of our current staff is made up of former TPM fellows. Other fellows and interns have moved on to jobs in new and old media alike, working for Think Progress, The New Republic, The Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, The New York Sun, The New Yorker, The Washington Post and more.

  In early 2009 we introduced our Editorial Fellows program, which runs for three (3) to six (6) months and comes with a stipend. In May 2011 we launched our tech fellowship program, and in March 2012 we launched our Publishing Fellows program.

  To learn more about what we do at TPM and what we’ve accomplished in the last year, see these news reports on TPM from 2007.

  Because each fellow is encouraged to work in multiple parts of our operation, it’s important that applicants have a basic understanding of new media technologies (blogging, YouTube, etc.) and a desire and ability to learn quickly.

  While we’re not actively looking for fellows at the moment, feel free to reach out to us at talk@talkingpointsmemo.com.
