Great place to learn journalism - Editor Washington Monthly Employee Review

- You get to work with some of the brightest minds in the field - It's a prestigious magazine to work for. (Not everyone knows about or reads it, but "insiders" , thinkers, and influencers do) - They actually pay journalism interns a stipend and don't expect free work, which helps with socioeconomic and racial diversity -Fellows/ Interns have a voice and opportunities to develop real writing and editing skills. Managers were really interested in helping you grow as a journalist and editor. -You get to see many parts of how the publishing process works up close - Leadership and managers don't micromanage. They do a good job of giving the appropriate amount of guidance - Location is metro-accessible and great for networking with other professionals in the area -Flexible hours and work environment (they allowed some work from home days) Washington Monthly is a small publication with big impact. The leadership is smart and driven. They truly care about their work and their people, as well as the broader community. It was one of the best and most valuable experiences I've ever had, and I feel lucky to have worked there.

As others have mentioned, the office is pretty small, but there's not much you can do about that. (Rent is expensive in DC!)

You learn nearly everything about magazine production and editing, and you get to try some of everything. You can edit, write, and manage. It's been the launching pad of many of the biggest names in journalism. You'll shape the policy debates of Washington. And you'll never lose the rigor you gain there.

It's hard work for low pay, and journalism's a volatile business. But you'll have fun.
