As The Westport Local Press begins its next phase in publishing the news and views of Westport, we are seeking highly motivated and talented young people to join our community-based team in its first summer internship program.

• These are remote positions, with the option to attend in-person meetings or trainings that follow the most up-to-date health guidelines.

• Interns will be supplied with a press pass as an accredited member of The Westport Local Press team to be worn while on assignment.

• Timing is flexible - as the news cycle is, too. You will pick your own hours and days to work unless specific events require a member of the press to be present.

• Internship positions are unpaid, as The Westport Local Press is managed by a pro-bono team.

• All work created will be published with your name and the biographical information that you choose. All work will be owned by its creator.

• Long-term paid and pro-bono positions are available to those who show dedication and progress during their internship period.

Interested?

Please fill out this application. If you have any questions: please contact the Executive Editor, Jaime Bairaktaris, for assistance. Application period ends Monday, May 10th.

The Westport Local Press is proud to continue the tradition of community-based news in Westport, Connecticut and is grateful for the support of its viewers.
