Internships
If you are a college student interested in investigative reporting, apply for a DCBureau.org internship. If you make the cut, you will be mentored by veteran reporters and assigned significant hands-on reporting duties that substantively support our institutional mission. You will learn investigative research and FOIA techniques, video and audio production, and writing and editing. We work with many colleges and universities nationwide and are especially interested in interns with video and Web training.
Former DCBureau.org interns have gone on to work on Capitol Hill as investigators, to the news networks as reporters and producers, to publications like the New Yorker as columnists, and to the new media. Former interns are at work in the foreign policy arena and in other government positions as well as in the philanthropic community.
Our interns have worked on some of our biggest stories such as exposing huge flaws in the No-Fly List and the Transportation Security Administration, the A. Q Khan nuclear proliferation network, the abuse of cadets at the Air Force Academy, and the exposure of millions of Americans to environmental toxins and the use of corporate environmental extortion.
Fellowships
We accept Scoville Fellows, a competitive national fellowship program that provides college graduates with the opportunity to gain a Washington perspective on key issues of peace and security. Several of our fellows have had great success working at the DC Bureau on issues such as arms sales in Africa, Iraq lobbying in Washington, and a major investigation to uncover the Pakistani nuclear proliferation network.
Volunteers
Opportunities with the DC Bureau are not limited to college students and recent graduates. People from all walks of life, of all age and experience levels, help DCBureau.org. Some volunteers provide valuable research on our core issues, others bring editorial and graphic design experience. All of them support the critically important work we do at a time when financial constraints are limiting media’s ability to effectively report on national issues of importance to all Americans.
Story Ideas
If you have an idea for a story or an investigation, send us an email describing what you would like us to pursue. Do not send us original documents until we agree to take on the story. If you want to work with us but do not want your identity revealed, we take source confidentiality very seriously.
