The Israel Project Media Fellowship trains participants in techniques designed to increase accurate and fair coverage of Israel and Jews in the news media. Our Fellows learn about media coverage of Israel and the region, meet with top-level journalists and utilize what they learn practically in hands on writing assignments which will be published over the course of the fellowship. Media Fellows will be involved in staffing and planning TIP speaking events in regions across the United States.

TIP Media Fellows are also involved in all aspects of our nonprofit organization. They have the opportunity to do research, conduct interviews with reporters, provide general administrative support, help organize and attend various media and educational events, and much more. The Fellows are also able to take advantage of many learning opportunities in Washington, D.C., through organized field trips during the summer. This includes meeting U.S. elected officials and Israeli spokespeople.

 

Fellows work at The Israel Project full time during the designated sessions (June 21 - Aug. 20 in Washington, D.C., or June 13 - Aug. 12 or July 11 - Sept. 9 in Jerusalem). In our Israel office, we are also looking for people who speak native university-level German, French, Spanish, Russian and Arabic. Some travel may be required. Travel to and from the program is the responsibility of the Fellows. However, The Israel Project WILL reimburse international participants for visa expenses.

More Information Specifically About the Fellowship in Washington, D.C.

The Israel Project's (TIP) main office is located in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C., on 2020 K St., N.W. Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi, founder and president of The Israel Project, heads the D.C. office. Lauren Appelbaum will be this year's Media Fellowship coordinator. All other TIP D.C. office staff will be integrally involved in the fellowship program.

General Information:
The 2010 Media Fellowship program in Washington, D.C., runs in one nine-week session from June 21 to August 20. The Israel Project fellowship is unpaid and is a full-time program. However, The Israel Project WILL reimburse international participants for visa expenses. Media Fellows are encouraged to apply for funding from other institutions. All Fellows must pay for their travel to and from Washington, D.C.

All travel for TIP-related events will be paid for by TIP during the fellowship, except for the daily commute to and from the office. There will be several lunches and dinners that TIP will pay for as well.

Work days/hours are Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fellows are expected to be on time to work and to wear casual business attire. Because some meetings will be held outside of the office, there may be days when Fellows will have to work longer hours. For all meetings outside the office, Fellows will be expected to wear formal business attire.

This is a working fellowship. In addition to assigned tasks, Fellows will work on the following:

  • Writing backgrounders
  • Writing fact sheets
  • Conducting extensive research on the Internet
  • Monitoring anti-Israel Web sites and news outlets
  • Conducting online pro-Israel advocacy

Time and circumstances permitting, Fellows may also be authorized to initiate their own projects under TIP guidance. All Fellows will also be expected to do general office work. This includes helping with the daily tasks of running an efficient office, such as updating TIP's database, basic Internet research and preparing press kits for journalists and press conferences.

Housing:
All Fellows will be responsible for finding and paying for their housing during the fellowship. It is imperative that Fellows arrange their housing immediately after they are accepted to the fellowship. Washington, D.C. quickly fills up with interns during the summer, and finding housing at the last minute is difficult. Average D.C. rental prices depend on the neighborhood, with studios ranging from about $900 to $1,200 per month and one-bedrooms starting at about $1,300.

For more information about housing options, please contact Lauren Appelbaum at laurena@theisraelproject.org.

What is pastured poultry? Pastured chicken, turkey and duck live outdoors, on lush farmland. They are cared for gently and humanely and are nourished by fresh air, sunshine and the diverse forage of the pasture. Reflecting their natural diet, the meat of pastured poultry is tastier, leaner and rich in micronutrients, vitamins and minerals.  Pastured animals are healing to our environment and help sustain family farms.  Place an order and support this local, green and KOSHER delicacy
