FAIR has openings each semester for a small number of paid interns. Interns have opportunities to develop writing, research and communications skills, and to acquire knowledge of both corporate and independent media. Many are undergraduate or graduate students from journalism/media studies or closely related programs, but we welcome all motivated applicants, particularly those who demonstrate strong knowledge of FAIR’s work and skills like writing, proofreading and critical thinking. We particularly encourage women, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people to apply.

Responsibilities vary, but usually include fact-checking, research, writing, and social media and web support. We will establish educational goals and projects based on the intern’s interests and abilities.
Interns work at FAIR’s office in Manhattan, with a minimum of 16 hours per week. Students who wish to obtain course credit will have our full cooperation in meeting institutional requirements. FAIR interns receive $17/hour compensation and must arrange their own housing.
On rare occasions, remote opportunities are available for those outside of NYC.
Applications for Summer 2026 should be submitted by April 1. To apply, please complete our application, available here, and email it to Julie Hollar. Contact Julie directly with any questions.
