About the role

POLITICO is seeking exceptional college students and recent graduates for its Summer 2027 reporting internship in New York. You will pitch, report and write stories for an audience of political and policy junkies, and you will work with the New York Playbook team to produce our daily politics newsletter. The role requires strong reporting and writing skills, the ability to work under deadlines, and an entrepreneurial mindset.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
