Digital Editor Intern

Company Description

OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION (OurNationalConversation.org, or ONC

for short) is a nonpartisan political conversation site devoted to balanced

and civil conversations designed to make America a better country.

Republicans, Democrats and Independents –all are all welcome at ONC.

Our motto: “less hate, more debate.”

We are largely powered by Gen Z students – America’s future leaders – who

produce articles, events, podcasts and more. Experienced professionals

mentor our students.

Though many applaud our mission, OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION is not

well-known.

It’s time to change that. We need to add more excitement to our mix. Our

students tend to be very earnest policy wonks – kinda dry – and we need to

do more to produce content that can go viral. Both types of content are

complementary and compatible

Job Description

We are looking for 1-2 humor/culture/meme digital editors. These individuals

won’t produce original content, but they will report on those who do. Each

week we’ll want you to write about, and provide links to, the best social

media posts, the best tit-for-tat exchanges, the best video clips and more.

Political advertising is another viable topic. Keep us informed as to what’s

going on – it’s hard to keep up!

There is no pay at this time. This is an internship. That said, you WILL get

excellent hands-on experience and the chance to really build your resume.

Who knows? Maybe this will be your big break. We won’t know till we try.

Be ready to commit to four to 10 hours a week. We are completely remote

and use Slack, Google Drive and Zoom to communicate. There are two,

one-hour mandatory meetings each week. We operate on a semester basis;

if you can commit to at least two or three semesters, that’s a big plus.

Please send a 2-4 paragraph cover letter along with a resume and any links

to video clips or social media posts you think are relevant. Tell us “Why

you?” – and why ONC appeals to you.

We look forward to hearing from you

Qualifications

You have experience with digital editing, and you want to be part of a team of mission-focused people working hard to rebuild public trust in the media. You have 10 hours per week or more to dedicate to this internship.
