The salary for this role is $18.00 per hour. We will read applications on a rolling basis.

Foreign Policyis a global affairs magazine and website. Founded in 1970, its editors set out to create a platform for alternative views about American foreign policy in a way that was “serious but not scholarly, lively but not glib.” Today, FP continues to be serious, lively, and non-partisan, but also global and diverse. It is a forum for new ideas and debate on international politics and economics, drawing on a team of in-house reporters as well as writers who are experts or practitioners of foreign policy and based around the world. FP has also grown to include podcasts, live audio and video journalism, research and analytics, and events.
