About the internship
Join TechAmerica.ai for a remote editorial internship in technology journalism. Work with a supervising editor to pitch, research, fact-check and revise a story during an unpaid placement lasting 1 to 12 months.
TechAmerica.ai is an independent technology news publication covering AI, startups, business and emerging technologies. Our remote editorial internship is for students and recent graduates who want to improve their reporting and writing skills.
You will begin with a question you want to investigate. With a supervising editor, you will turn that question into a focused story pitch. You will find sources, check evidence and develop a clear draft. Your editor will review the work and guide revisions.
The placement follows a learning plan agreed before you start. You and your editor will set a weekly schedule, learning objectives and the scope of your assignment. Possible subjects include AI, finance, electric vehicles, gaming and digital media. Applicants from any academic discipline are welcome.
This is a fully remote, unpaid internship lasting 1 to 12 months. You may also request custom placement dates. Applications are welcome worldwide, subject to applicable placement requirements. A journalism degree or published portfolio is not required. You will need clear written English, curiosity and a willingness to verify facts.
By the end, you will have developed a story from pitch to final draft. Your editor will confirm which materials you may share publicly. This remote editorial internship does not lead to a paid position.
