NPR is looking for interns! We are interested in students who want to gain experience in marketing research or in the media industry. The internship is unpaid, but well worth the networking connections. We’re looking for someone with strong math, writing and communication skills who can commit a minimum of 20-25 hours a week. A brief description about the internship is provided below, or you can click the blue link if you want to learn about other internship opportunities at NPR.
Audience Insight and Research Internship: (Typically offered all three semesters)
Interested in first-hand exposure to media research and strategy? Consider an internship with our team, which acts as an internal research consultant to all NPR departments. Interns work closely with staff from across the organization to bring audience insights into the center of decision making. Tasks include analyzing listener habits and demographics, working with surveys, answering research requests from employees, and becoming familiar with databases like Arbitron and Nielsen. A keen ability to synthesize and present information (written and graphic) is important. Experience with survey work and research is a plus.
Please contact Meredith Heard at mheard@npr.org with a copy of a cover letter explaining why you think you’re a good fit for this internship and an updated resume. If you are interested in our Spring 2011 internship, please be sure to send a cover letter and resume by December 5. Otherwise, NPR’s research team accepts applications on a rolling basis throughout the year.
We look forward to hearing from you!
