Fact-checking and clerical/administrative tasks will take up no more than half of the internship, less depending on your skill level. The rest is dedicated to writing and reporting."

Interns are expected to work about 20 hours a week, and must attend weekly department editorial meetings (currently scheduled for Tuesday afternoons, but subject to change).
