These jobs offer an excellent opportunity to learn the issues, make contacts, and sharpen news writing and office management skills.
All work is done in our Alexandria, VA office.
Reliable transportation is a must, as the office is not convenient to public transportation. Depending upon the applicant's qualifications, the job may entail clipping newspapers, checking Internet sites, sorting incoming information, synthesizing and rewriting news articles, cultivating contacts, writing occasional news features, editing others' work for substance and style, and helping to manage the newsroom. The staff is small, so each member shares a significant portion of the daily responsibilities. Candidates must possess outstanding writing and copy-editing skills to produce accurate, clear, insightful copy on a series of tight, daily deadlines. Preference will be given to candidates who possess a working knowledge of the UN and international affairs.
