Jobs

Principal Gifts Officer

As outlined in this job description, as an integral part of our drive for a sustainable model for ProPublica, we’re looking for a Principal Gifts Officer. Resumes should be submitted to adminjobs@propublica.org.

Reporters

We are looking for two additional investigative reporters. Applicants will be considered from any specialized or generalist investigative reporting background, but we are especially interested in applicants focused on energy and environment, education or immigration. Both of the reporters to be hired will be based in ProPublica’s New York office; compensation will be commensurate with experience. Interested applicants should send their resume to reportingjobs@propublica.org.

Distributed Reporting / Social Media Intern

ProPublica offers one distributed reporting/social media internship each spring, summer and fall. The spring and fall internships last 16 weeks. The summer internship lasts 12 weeks. The internship is full-time, based in New York and pays $700 per week.

We are currently hiring for the summer internship. Applications for the summer should be sent by the end of March. Applications for the fall internship should be received by end of May.

The distributed reporting/social media intern will work closely with Amanda Michel, editor of distributed reporting. Applicants should have experience reporting and/or managing volunteers (or online organizing) and a track-record of innovation. The intern will assist Amanda on collaborative reporting projects (such as ProPublica’s Super Bowl Blitz and Stimulus Spot Check) and help manage ProPublica’s social media presence.

If you would like to apply, then please send your resume, a cover letter detailing organizing work, and any clips to amanda.michel@propublica.org.

Reporting Interns

We’re not accepting reporting internship applications at the moment. Please check back in early July for details on our future internships.

Computer-Assisted Reporting Intern

ProPublica offers one computer-assisted reporting internship each spring, summer and fall. Summer internships last 12 weeks, while the others last 16 weeks. Both have the possibility of extensions. All internships are full-time, based in New York, and pay $700 per week.  We start looking at candidates several months in advance. Applicants should have skills in using spreadsheets and managing databases.

The CAR intern works closely with reporters and editors as well as our Web staff.

If you would like to apply, then please send a cover letter, your resume and at least three clips or examples of CAR work to jennifer.lafleur@propublica.org.
