Job Description

Job Title: Justice and Public Safety Policy Writer Intern (JPS)

Reports to: Core Content Writing Team Lead and Director of Policy Content and Strategy

Job Description: The Justice and Public Safety Policy Writer Intern contributes to ONC’s mission of providing nonpartisan news, opinions, and policy solutions by completing essential tasks in the Policy Content department. Justice and Public Safety Policy Writer Intern will focus on writing political content for ONC, including but not necessarily limited to high-quality Op-Eds and Policy Proposals for ONC’s website. Though writers will be responsible for producing their own content, the process will be collaborative, with lots of political discussion in a respectful, nonpartisan environment. In addition to ensuring that diverse content appears on the site, this intern will participate in podcasts, produce infographics and research content for our new “Talking Points” feature on our website. Furthermore, this intern must ensure that ONC's commitment to nonpartisanship, ideological diversity, and civil debate is evident in all published work. Justice and Public Safety is a policy topic that occurs at the intersection of governance and social issues. It ranges from the obvious topics, such as institutional police structure, to more niche topics like jury selection. Justice and Public Safety analyzes the systemic structures and institutions of the criminal justice system, legal system, police institution and more.The Policy Writers team will consist of various writers that cover our 8 policy areas, Governance, Economics, Infrastructure, Healthcare, Foreign Policy and Defense, Justice and Public Safety, Social Issues, and Science, Environment and Technology. 

*A content-related writing sample will be requested if you are selected to interview. The content you will produce should be aimed at a general audience, not an academic one. The same goes for the requested writing sample.

The Core Content Department will meet on Friday’s at 7:00pm (EST)/ 4:00pm (PST) with all writers, mentors, the Core Content Writing Team Lead, the Director of Policy Content and Strategy and the Managing Editor. This position is remote, with work primarily conducted over Zoom and Slack, so applicants must be comfortable coordinating in a remote environment and are expected to maintain a high level of communication. The duration of this internship can be as short as a semester or as long as a year or more depending on their performance. Many people choose to extend their internship past the amount of time they initially committed to.

Duration: May 1, 2024 - August 31, 2024 (On-boarding and Training begins the week of April 22nd)

Compensation: This is not a paid position.

Benefits: Flexible schedule, college credit, professional networking, and resume-building experience.

Responsibilities:

  • Create consistent content for the website with a team of policy content writers.

  • Ensure ONC's commitment to nonpartisanship, ideological diversity, and civil debate is reflected in all published work.

  • Participate in civil dialogue with conservative, progressive, and moderate writers focused on our 8 policy areas: Governance, Economics, Infrastructure, Healthcare, Foreign Policy and Defense, Justice and Public Safety, Social Issues, and Science, Environment and Technology.
