External Affairs Intern

Want to learn more about coalition relations, outreach, and events?

External Affairs interns assist with Media Research Center's (MRC) outreach efforts to network with conservative organizations in the movement. Interns will also help to create weekly newsletters, plan events, update and maintain MRC contact lists, as well as coordinate research projects essential to MRC success.

The External Affairs department at MRC looks for interns that are:

Up to date on current events

Self-starters

Organized

Have good time management skills

Students that are studying political science, government affairs, or public relations would thrive in this department!

This internship is designed for conservative-minded students and recent graduates. We hire interns during three semesters (Fall, Spring, Summer). The current application is for our Fall internship program. Our internship for the Fall 2024 session begins on September 9, 2024 and runs through December 6, 2024.

To apply on ConservativeJobs, please submit a resume, cover letter, and 3 writing samples.

MRC internship program operates solely in-person, remote work is unavailable.

Interns at MRC are paid $12/hr.

The Media Research Center is a 501(c)3 research and education organization that has been the nation’s premier media watchdog since 1987. We are committed to neutralizing left-wing bias in the news media and popular culture. We do this through analysis and research (NewsBusters), blogs and video (MRCTV), and a complex grassroots and marketing initiative. Because we are a nonprofit, we are careful about our resources, and one of our greatest resources is a team of interns who are excited to learn and promote our work.
