Diverse Voices in Science Journalism

Science has an exciting opportunity for a paid summer internship with our News Department. The Diverse Voices in Science Journalism (DVSJ) Internship offers undergraduates interested in pursuing journalism as a career the opportunity to learn multiple facets of science journalism. Working closely with editors and reporters in the news department of Science, the largest interdisciplinary science journal in the world, interns will participate in all aspects of the news operation, including online, print, and digital media products. The program aims to train science journalists from, and with a commitment to, diverse communities, building their capacity to report on scientific issues to a general audience and expanding access to the profession to persons including, but not limited to, those from diverse populations. We define diversity broadly: We invite those from historically excluded racial and ethnic communities as well as sexual minorities, immigrants, first-generation college students and those from other backgrounds not listed here and from communities not regularly represented in journalism and science journalism. Experience what it’s like to cover the scientific and technological issues that shape our global community.
