Data Journalism Internship - Spring 2023

FinePrint Data is offering part- and full-time data journalism internships focused on the investment behavior of elected officials.

If you’re interested in advancing our mission, gaining applied experience in data journalism, and being a valuable contributor to our team, then this is the position for you. In particular, you will gain experience digging through government records, analyzing and cleaning data, creating data visualizations, interfacing with numerous databases, interview people, polishing prose, and revealing untold, politically meaningful stories.

An ideal candidate would have a background in business journalism, strong writing skills, social experience using graphic design tools like Adobe InDesign or Illustrator, and some training in data analysis and visualization using R, JavaScript, or Python. A minimum of 2 years of college education or professional experience is required for the position.

This internship roughly lines up with the Spring semester and dates are somewhat flexible. To begin the application process, please send a resume describing what you can bring to the position to ops@fineprintdata.com or apply through Handshake.
