We are seeking a high-energy intern who wants hands-on experience with print and online article editing in the military area. This paid internship is for a minimum of 6 months but can be up to 12 months. The position will sharpen our authors’ messages and assist in shaping the editorial direction of our flagship monthly publication, Proceedings, bimonthly Naval History magazine, and our online versions of both.

  • Edit articles and recurring columns for each issue of Proceedings and Naval History - work closely with authors, many of whom are serving military professionals, to strengthen and clarify their arguments, sometimes through extensive reorganization and editing
  • Work closely with the design director, graphic designer, and photo editor on photo and art selection and design to ensure an engaging reader experience—both in print and online—for each article assigned
  • Proofread articles
  • Support promotion of Proceedings and Naval History articles through all facets of online publication and social media
  • Offer suggestions to bring promising authors—including seasoned veterans and historians—into the fold
  • Editing, writing, and print or online publishing experience desired. That experience may include college newspaper staff work or active-duty military public affairs.
  • Military experience or knowledge of the military desired but not essential.
  • Interest in naval issues, national security, international affairs, and military history is a must.
