Internship Opportunity

http://www.democracymatters.org/content.php?type=internshipdescription

Democracy Matters is accepting applications for paid internships through our Campus Intern Program. We are a non-partisan organization of students and professors working on campuses across the country to educate people about the role of money in politics, and its impact on democracy. We call for alternatives that can reform and revitalize our political process thereby deepening democracy in the United States. Specifically, we organize around issues of campaign finance reform, full and partial public funding of elections, and election reform. We differ from other political groups on campus in that we are not a political party and we do not concern ourselves with specific races. Instead, we are concerned with the process of campaigns-especially fundraising-and issues specifically related to political accountability and democracy. Campus Coordinators are expected to work 10 hours/week.

Next Meeting

Our next meeting will be on March 26 from 5-6 in COM 213.

Your cover letter for a journalism job or internship can make or break you. It must be compelling, persuasive and concise--and it's not like a business cover letter! Join editors and producers from Orlando Weekly, Central Florida News 13 and Orlando Business Journal in a workshop on the best--and worst--ways to write a cover letter. Bring your own cover letter and get professional advice. Network with other journalists and discuss internship opportunities. And, as always, free pizza.
