Details

The Center for Journalism and Liberty at the Open Markets Institute is looking for a creative and passionate researcher to contribute to our journalism antimonopoly policy team. This candidate cares about consolidation in media and wants to study how Big Tech influences critical decisions about how we inform our communities, and who participates while developing policy research and advocacy skills.

Specifically, we are looking for someone to support CJL’s work on media independence and consolidation, tech policy and AI governance, and digital advertising. In this internship, you’ll help the Open Markets policy team grapple with these questions through the lens of corporate power and how competition policy and antitrust are unable press freedom. This role will work closely with CJL’s director on research and communications. 

You may also have the opportunity to contribute to Open Markets’ The Corner newsletter and collaborate with other policy organizations working on antitrust enforcement in journalism and media. We welcome applicants with experience or studies in journalism, political economy, law or policy research. 

We believe that corporate power disproportionately hurts the most marginalized people in society — including people of color, working class people, women and LGBTQ people. Because these communities must be centered in Open Markets’ work, we strongly encourage people with these identities to apply.

Benefits

This is a hybrid, part-time paid spring internship for students or recent grads. Starting wage of $18 per hour. The CJL team works from the office two days per week. Open Markets will accept remote applicants. 

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Start and end date are flexible.
