Our work has led to changes in policy, new legislation, investigations and discussions at the Capitol, in political groups and beyond — and created an awareness of important issues that aren’t getting covered anywhere else.Our team has been recognized and honored with top state, regional and national awards from ONA, the Society of Environmental Journalists, the National Press Club, the Public Media Journalists Association, the Institute for Nonprofit News, the Edward R.

You’ll also get some experience with fundraising tools like Salesforce, Donor Search, and MailChimp, as well as ad ops and corporate and institutional sales of advertising in our newsletters and on our website and sponsorships of products like our election guide and legislative tracker.You’ll work closely with our major donors, foundations and institutions, and membership teams, and with our development associate, participate in team meetings and donor events. And you’ll also be part of our cohort of summer interns from around the state. You’ll participate in our staff meetings and social get-togethers too.Desired qualifications: A keen interest in media, nonprofit business models, philanthropy and news, and California and state government policies and politics.

If conditions allow, we'll expect you to spend at least part of the summer in our Sacramento newsroom, but remote employment is also a possibility for the right candidate.We are an expanding and collaborative newsroom, successfully forging a new model for sustainable, intelligent, nonprofit journalism. We’re committed to reflecting the people of the state we serve and especially encourage members of underrepresented communities to apply.If you’re interested, please send a resume and a cover letter that outlines how this internship aligns with your interests and experience and how you expect to grow as part of our team.Powered by JazzHRIVHpiuWZZM
