The Dispatch stands out as a platform for thoughtful coverage, respectful dialogue, and a wildly engaged community of paying members. We bring a perspective—we’re right-of-center—but we’re fiercely independent, standing apart from media outlets increasingly engaged in partisan boosterism. Started in 2019 by Steve Hayes and Jonah Goldberg, The Dispatch has filled a valuable gap in the media ecosystem as covered in the New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, and other publications.

The Dispatch is pleased to offer its 2026 summer multimedia internship program. The internship begins Sept 1 and ends before the Christmas holiday, but there is flexibility with the beginning and end dates. This is a hands-on internship that will provide invaluable experience for aspiring multimedia journalists who want to participate in the editorial process of a thriving media business. The interns will work closely with The Dispatch’s reporters, staff writers, and editors to contribute to The Dispatch’s podcasts and social videos.
