USA: AFL-CIO Media Outreach Fellowship for Recent Graduates

Overview

AFL-CIO Media Outreach Fellowship
Media Outreach Department
Up to One Year (not a summer-long internship)

The AFL-CIO media outreach fellowship has a dual purpose:

(1) to help the AFL-CIO shape the public’s opinion of today’s unions through media outlets, including making workers’ voices and issues heard in all available media forums;
(2) to develop people with the skills needed to fill the labor movement’s growing need for effective communicators.

The fellow position is a full-time, generally year-long opportunity to explore and be part of the dynamic new labor movement while developing specific media outreach skills. While the fellowship is based in Washington, D.C., it also includes a period of field work in organizing, political and / or legislative work.

Salary: Approx. $640 per week plus benefits

Deadline for Applications: April 23, 2010

Start Date: No later than June 2010


Duties include:

• Writing press releases and media advisories;
• Developing new media contacts;
• Monitoring press coverage of unions;
• Pitching reporters on workers’ issues and AFL-CIO initiatives;
• Helping to stage press conferences and events;
• Helping workers to refine their message and to make their voices heard in the media;
• Coordinating on various AFL-CIO projects including politics, trade, immigration, organizing and legislation.
• Producing background materials for internal and external use.

The media outreach fellow should be an effective writer and communicator with a deep interest in addressing issues affecting working people. Previous experience with unions, student labor coalitions, community organizations allied with labor or other labor-related organizations is a plus, but not a requirement.

People of color, bilingual applicants, and women are encouraged to apply.
Please send a cover letter describing your interest and qualifications for the position, a resume, and a writing sample (1000 words max) no later than April 23rd to:

AFL-CIO Human Resources Department
