Journalism: As a Journalism Fellow, you’ll report, write, publish, and edit articles for Reason magazine and our online platforms. You’ll learn from seasoned journalists how to develop your investigative, analytical, and storytelling skills while being part of the national dialogue on free minds and free markets.

Video Production: Create high-quality multimedia content with our award-winning team of producers, camera operators, and graphic artists. You’ll write scripts, film, edit, and do post-production work under the guidance of the industry’s finest team.

Public Policy Research: Your analytic skills will be put to the test with in-depth research on policy issues from a libertarian perspective. You’ll write and publish policy papers and newspaper articles while working directly with policymakers and stakeholders on practical, evidence-based insights that help empower people and limit government. 

Government Relations: As a Government Relations Fellow, you’ll be the bridge between our policy experts and policy makers at the state level to help make policy change happen. You’ll be able to build relationships with government officials and policy stakeholders, work with coalitions, develop model legislation, and participate in workshops, forums and town hall meetings. 

Marketing: Great content doesn’t matter if no one sees it! Collaborate with our team to share the principles of liberty with our growing audience. If you have a knack for social media, digital marketing, and audience engagement, this is the place for you!

Development: Reason works with thousands of generous donors to keep the doors open. You’ll learn how to build relationships, write grant proposals and reports, and bring people together to advance liberty. 

Events: Reason produces several unique events throughout the year from the SOHO Forum Debate series to Speakeasy events. You’ll work directly with our events team to learn how to effectively plan and execute events from start to finish. 

Operations: Reason is an organization with 100+ staff members and two offices, one in Los Angeles, CA and one in Washington, DC. You’ll learn how we recruit our top tier staff, onboard new employees, and maintain employee engagement.
