The Reporters Committee is a nonprofit association dedicated
to providing free legal assistance to journalists. It offers internships at its
Arlington, VA headquarters on a regular basis. Interns are called on to provide
significant contributions to their publications and legal work. Interns report
and write on free press and media law issues and assist the staff and legal
fellows in media law research.
The Reporters Committee also provides its interns with
regular opportunities to interact with working journalists, media lawyers and
policymakers through seminars around Washington, D.C. Interns may attend
congressional hearings, hear arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court or other
federal appellate courts, and visit newsrooms and government agencies where they
can learn firsthand about free-press issues.

Applicants should submit a resume, cover letter and writing
sample (3-5 clips and/or short research paper). Journalism experience is not
necessary, but is preferred. Applications for summer internships are due on
January 31, 2013. However, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until
all positions are filled. Applications should be sent to internships@rcfp.org or:
