What are the responsibilities and job description for the Public Relations(PR) Internship position at Our National Conversation?
Company Description
OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION (OurNationalConversation.org, or ONC
for short) is a nonpartisan political conversation site devoted to balanced
and civil conversations designed to make America a better country.
Republicans, Democrats and Independents –all are all welcome at ONC.
Our motto: “less hate, more debate.”
We are largely powered by Gen Z students – America’s future leaders – who
produce articles, events, podcasts and more. Experienced professionals
mentor our students.
Though many applaud our mission, OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION is not
well-known.
It’s time to change that.
Job Description
We seek 3-4 student PR, communication or journalism majors to conduct
outreach to legacy media outlets, social media influencers, the academic
community, podcasters, elected officials, celebrities and more.
There is no pay at this time. That said, you WILL get excellent hands-on
experience and the chance to really build your resume. In addition to PR
and event management, if you want to write articles, appear on our
podcasts, post on our social media channels or help with video and podcast
production, all that is possible.
What we really seek is interns who WANT to take this on; we have a “can
do, will do” culture that encourages – requires, really – active participation.
We’d rather take someone with less experience and the right attitude than
someone with a stellar resume who is ho-hum about this project. ONC is for
true believers who want to make a difference.
Be ready to commit to four to 10 hours a week. We are completely remote
and use Slack, Google Drive and Zoom to communicate. There are two,
one-hour mandatory meetings each week. We operate on a semester basis;
if you can commit to at least two or three semesters, that’s a big plus.
Please send a 2-4 paragraph cover letter along with a resume. Tell us “Why
you?” – and why ONC appeals.
We look forward to hearing from you
