Democracy Now is now accepting application for its fall internship program to work within the media archives. Internships require 15 hours per week at our location in lower Manhattan.

The Democracy Now! Archive contains over 25,000 pieces of media, a research library, and collections of independent news media. Our media collection spans from the mid-eighties until the present and serves as a production library for ongoing Democracy Now! productions and a research source through active cataloguing, collection management, access and preservation.

 

Democracy Now! is a national, daily, independent, award-winning news program airing on over 450 stations in North America. Pioneering the largest public media collaboration in the U.S., Democracy Now! is broadcast on Pacifica, NPR, community, and college radio stations; on public access, PBS, satellite television (DISH network: Free Speech TV ch. 9415 and Link TV ch. 9410; DIRECTV: Link TV ch. 375); as a "podcast," and on the internet.

Internship: 
Interns will be responsible for processing collections, re-housing archival materials, cataloguing, research, and analog to digital audio conversion. This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in pursuing a career in media archives while working in a busy newsroom environment.
