Maine Public
Public Media Intern
This program, known as the Dowe Internship, was established in 2015. It is supported by donors who contributed to a memorial endowment fund for Jim Dowe, the CEO of Maine Public from 2007 to 2011. Jim Dowe was a tireless advocate for developing the next generation of journalists and broadcasters and was known for his commitment to public service.
This summer, our Dowe Intern will participate in a part-time program for approx. 6 – 8 weeks during the months of May, June, and/or July. Beginning with an orientation and organizational overview, the intern will participate in a short-term, interactive and hands-on survey program to learn about the different areas of Maine Public including visual media, television production, broadcasting technology, and digital media. After the introductory survey program, the intern will join our News team and focus on journalism. This is an opportunity to build some tangible reporting experience and learn first-hand how creating, communicating and curating content over multiple media platforms can help our communities by informing, engaging and connecting people across the State and beyond.
Our Dowe Intern will be based in our Lewiston office, will work approx. 20-25 hours per week (3-days) and will regularly travel throughout the State of Maine.
Candidates with an existing connection to the State of Maine are preferred.
Interested candidates are encouraged to review the Jim Dowe Public Media Internship website and must submit an online application and the following materials:
