The New Republic Online is looking for college students and recent graduates for its fall 2011 Web internship program.

Preparing and updating TNR's homepage
Helping to maintain TNR's blogs and other aspects of the site
Research projects
Writing articles and blog posts, and helping to create multimedia content
Participating in TNR staff meetings
Helping update and maintain TNR's online archives

Political journalism experience is preferred, but not imperative; some familiarity with HTML is helpful, but not crucial; and fluency in search techniques like LexisNexis is mandatory. A full-time commitment is preferred.

Applications for our fall internship (August/September through December/January) will be accepted until Friday, August 5. To apply for the Web internship program, please e-mail a cover letter and résumé to Seyward Darby and Jesse Zwick.
