Young Writers Program

LAUNCHING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CONSERVATIVE VOICES

Last year, The American Spectator’s editors trained interns from Georgetown University, Baylor University, and Grove City College. Interns from our program have gone on to work for the State Department, Department of Defense, the Detroit News, Reason, the Center Square, the Washington Free Beacon, the Heritage Foundation, and the Trump administration.Our goal is to develop and promote young writers. While they’re working with us, they hone their skills and clarify their professional goals. We’re proud of our program. Your support has launched the careers of fine journalists, including Philip Klein, Byron York, Jim Antle, and Bill McGurn, to name a few. The media needs more conservative voices.

ADVANCING AMERICAN VALUES AND TRAINING FUTURE JOURNALISTS

The American Spectator Foundation educates the public on new ideas, concepts, and policies that favor traditional American values, such as economic freedom, individual liberty, self-sufficiency, and limited government. To this end, the Foundation also trains and cultivates young writers for careers in journalism and serves as an outlet for a host of both young and established conservative writers and thinkers. If you are interested in interning at The American Spectator through the Young Writers Program, please contact cravottal@spectator.org.
