The New Republic is seeking an intern to join our editorial team for six months starting on January 4, 2027. The position pays $15 - $20.40/hour and lasts until July 2, 2027. This is a full-time position during regular business hours; if you are a student, or work part-time during the day, please do not apply. There is not a deadline for this position, but please apply immediately if you're interested. We'll begin reviewing applications on November 2, and thereafter on a rolling basis.
The intern reports to the executive editor and has five key responsibilities: copyediting, fact-checking, transcription, administrative duties, and writing for our website. While applicants do not need to have experience in all of these areas—training will be provided—the right candidate will be someone who follows the news, obsesses over language and facts, is well-organized, and pays close attention to detail. Journalism experience, educationally or professionally, is preferred.
Your week will look something like this:
Copy editing. Working alongside our chief copy editor, the intern will copyedit web pieces and/or newsletters on a daily basis.
Fact-checking. Collaborating with our web editors, the intern will fact-check web pieces of various lengths on an intermittent basis.
Administration. Helping our web editors, the intern will handle RightSignature paperwork for freelancers and maintain the editorial calendar in Asana.
Writing. As time and ability allow, the intern will write for TNR’s breaking news feed.
To apply, click the “Apply for This Job” button on this page. Submit your résumé and a cover letter explaining why you’re right for this job. The cover letter should be tailored to TNR and show an understanding of our work. If you have writing clips, paste links to them in your cover letter or resume. Finalists will be asked to take a copy-editing test.
