About The Dispatch:
At a time of growing industry uncertainty and an alarming erosion of civic discourse, The Dispatch stands out as a platform for thoughtful coverage, respectful dialogue, and a wildly engaged community of paying members. We bring a perspective—we’re right-of-center—but we’re fiercely independent, standing apart from media outlets increasingly engaged in partisan boosterism. Started in 2019 by Steve Hayes, the editor-in-chief of The Weekly Standard, and Jonah Goldberg, editor at National Review, The Dispatch has filled a valuable gap in the media ecosystem as captured by articles in the New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, and other publications.
Overview:
The Dispatch is pleased to offer its 2026 summer editorial internship program. This is a 10-week opportunity based in our Washington, D.C., office, beginning June 1 and ending August 7. This is a hands-on internship that will provide invaluable experience for aspiring journalists who want to participate in the editorial process of a thriving media business. The interns will work closely with The Dispatch’s reporters, staff writers, and editors to contribute to The Dispatch’s website and newsletters.
