The Nevada Independent internship is an intensive, hands-on opportunity to learn from the experienced reporters and editors at our nonprofit, nonpartisan news outlet. From day one, interns will be challenged to work on a broad range of sophisticated stories that explore how politics and policy affect everyday Nevadans, with plenty of mentorship and support along the way. They will also work to present and promote their reporting in multiple formats, including through TikTok and other vertical video platforms, and learn to produce rigorous fact checks.
