Job Description

OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION (OurNationalConversation.org, or ONC
for short) is a nonpartisan political conversation site devoted to balanced
and civil conversations designed to make America a better country.
Republicans, Democrats and Independents –all are all welcome at ONC.
Our motto: “less hate, more debate.”
We are largely powered by Gen Z students – America’s future leaders – who
produce articles, events, podcasts and more. Experienced professionals
mentor our students.
Though many applaud our mission, OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION is not
well-known.
It’s time to change that. We need to add more excitement to our mix. Our
students tend to be very earnest policy wonks – kinda dry – and we need to
do more to produce content that can go viral. Both types of content are
complementary and compatible

Job Description

We are looking for 1-2 humor/culture/meme digital editors. These individuals
won’t produce original content, but they will report on those who do. Each
week we’ll want you to write about, and provide links to, the best social
media posts, the best tit-for-tat exchanges, the best video clips and more.
Political advertising is another viable topic. Keep us informed as to what’s
going on – it’s hard to keep up!
There is no pay at this time. This is an internship. That said, you WILL get
excellent hands-on experience and the chance to really build your resume.
Who knows? Maybe this will be your big break. We won’t know till we try.
Be ready to commit to four to 10 hours a week. We are completely remote
and use Slack, Google Drive and Zoom to communicate. There are two,
one-hour mandatory meetings each week. We operate on a semester basis;
if you can commit to at least two or three semesters, that’s a big plus.
Please send a 2-4 paragraph cover letter along with a resume and any links
to video clips or social media posts you think are relevant. Tell us “Why
you?” – and why ONC appeals to you.
We look forward to hearing from you

Qualifications

You have experience with digital editing, and you want to be part of a team of mission-focused people working hard to rebuild public trust in the media. You have 10 hours per week or more to dedicate to this internship.
