Sightline Media Group is Hiring Interns for Summer 2023!
Defense News and Military Times publications are seeking interns for their 2023 internship program. They’re looking for students and recent graduates with experience in writing and reporting who will work with their news team on daily coverage of the defense industry and military/veteran affairs. The ideal candidate will have published articles to submit. This is a rare opportunity for candidates looking to practice journalism that focuses on business, national security and the concerns of military service members, veterans and their families. You will be assigned byline stories to report and write for publication on their sites and in their print editions. You’ll also support larger team-reporting projects.
Their editors value accuracy, clarity, and a good story. There are opportunities to work with their video team and on audio projects for candidates with the right skills. The internship includes a program for both students who are seeking academic credit and an Editorial Fellow program for recent graduates. The main office is near Washington D.C., and these positions are not open to remote work.
