Summer Journalism Intern

Nonprofit Sector News, a nonprofit news organization, seeks part-time journalism interns for summer 2026. We produce original journalism (news and features) on nonprofits of all kinds nationwide and provide that news to the public and other U.S. news media through a website, LinkedIn, Facebook and local news sites nationwide. Emailed newsletters of NSN content, one version for journalists, one for the public, are planned.

Interns choose their beats and must propose story ideas. Interns work only from home and/or their campus, conducting background research/interviews. Students are given introductory training about covering nonprofits, receive editing/feedback on their writing, ask NSN questions as they work, and should suggest news media that their stories be sent to. Interns must be highly motivated, persistent, resourceful, and self-disciplined; journalism experience required. NSN fully cooperates with universities that award academic credit. NSN is especially interested in nonprofits found in almost every U.S. community, especially of interest to younger Americans. Students should send to NSN an application letter, a resume (include at least three journalism references - professors and/or editors) as email attachments - and scans of, or links to, your best five stories published/posted in professional and/or student news media.

Your application letter must state why you want to intern for NSN and story ideas only about nonprofits. Applications will be reviewed starting immediately. Interships ideally start Tuesday, May 26, 2026. Apply to Dan S. Claussen at nonprofitsectornews@gmail.com
