The internship is full time, five days a week. There are eleven intern positions during each session (eight in The Nation’s New York offices, one in The Nation’s Washington D.C. office, and two in The Nation Institute’s New York offices).
Qualifications: Applicants must have completed their junior year of college at a minimum. Graduates are eligible to apply.
Compensation and Credit: Interns are paid an hourly wage and provided an Unlimited Metrocard or equivalent reimbursement for interns who take other modes of transportation. Whenever possible, The Nation Institute will assist interns in arranging for academic or work-study credit. Housing and travel grants are available to those who need them in order to do the internship.
Application Procedure: Please send a cover letter indicating your interest in The Nation and The Nation Institute and describing your career goals. In addition, include a resume, two letters of recommendation (at least one non-academic), and one writing sample. Letters may be mailed directly by recommenders, or may be included with the rest of your application materials. For writing samples, published clips are preferred, though academic papers and creative writing samples are acceptable (no longer than eight pages, please).
