Description
The Hill is hiring a spring semester editorial intern!
An editorial Hill internship will include intense exposure to national politics and Congress. Interns will experience a fast pace and deadline pressure.
Interns for The Hill have broken major stories, receiving widespread recognition. Their work has appeared on The Hill website and in print.
Duties: Editorial intern duties consist primarily of writing and reporting. Interns also assist reporters and frequently get assignments that take them to the Capitol and the halls of Congress. Interns have some clerical duties, including assisting at events hosted by The Hill and assisting reporters with projects.
The Hill accommodates academic schedules and interns do not have to be present all five days or can work partial days.
The Hill does not have a dress code, but regular business attire is required as interns could be required to go to Capitol Hill at any moment. Mature, businesslike behavior is expected in the workplace. Like all staff, interns are expected to fulfill any and all assignments given to them.
Intern candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S.
Directions:
The offices are very close to Union Station and the U.S. Capitol.
Terms and Conditions:
Interns are paid $17.95/hour, the minimum wage for the District of Columbia.
Interns are entirely responsible for their own lodging and travel. The Hill assumes no responsibility and cannot compensate any outside expenses connected with an internship. However, we will cover in-town travel expenses for work assignments.
The Hill assumes no liability and accepts no responsibility for intern behavior outside the workplace.
To Apply:
We strongly recommend that applicants familiarize themselves with The Hill before applying.
