The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting seeks an intern for spring 2010, preferably starting the week of January 3, 2010. We are especially interested in web-savvy applicants eager to get the word out about our international reporting projects to as many people as possible - through social networking platforms, online media, campus networks, special events, and other avenues.

With the aim of increasing traffic to our reporting projects and expanding the debate around these international issues, the intern's main duties will include:
• maintenance of our website
• maintenance of our online profiles and channels (including YouTube Channel)
• outreach to the online world, including blogs, social networking sites and new media tools
• compilation of newsletters
• efforts to increase online traffic and expand newsletter subscription base
• assistance with event coordination

Not required but desirable: familiarity with HTML, familiarity with the blogosphere, and experience with increasing web traffic through campaigns such as Google Adwords and social networking sites. Applicants should also have an interest in, and some familiarity with, current international affairs.

The Pulitzer Center is a non-profit leader in sponsoring the independent journalism that media organizations are increasingly less willing to undertake on their own. Pulitzer Center-funded stories shed light on underreported issues and regions around the globe. Our Global Gateway education initiative then brings those stories and the journalists into high schools and universities.

For information on our reporting projects and outreach efforts please see our website, at http://www.pulitzercenter.org The Pulitzer Center is located in the heart of Washington, D.C., near Dupont Circle.

The internship pays $1,000 per month and runs through May. Possibility of internship extension through summer 2010 based on further discussions with applicants and upon mutual agreement. ..."
