Social Media Intern, Fall 2026

About The Dispatch The Dispatch is a member-funded publication covering politics, policy, and culture. We are right-of-center and fiercely independent, which in practice means we scrutinize our own side as readily as anyone else's. Steve Hayes and Jonah Goldberg founded The Dispatch in 2019 on a straightforward bet: that enough readers were tired of outrage-driven media to pay for something better. They were. Tens of thousands of members now fund our reporting directly, which means we answer to them rather than to traffic. We also own and operate SCOTUSblog , the definitive source for Supreme Court coverage for more than 20 years. About The Role This is a hands-on execution seat on our social team. You will not be shadowing someone or fetching things. You will be publishing to real accounts with a real audience, every day. We are looking for someone to help us execute our organic social strategy across X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit: turning the day’s reporting into platform-native content, cutting clips from our podcasts and video, monitoring and replying in the comments, and reporting on what worked. You will sit inside our editorial workflows, including a standing seat on the weekly editorial call, so you know what is coming and why it matters. Political media moves fast and unpredictably. The best social work here happens when someone recognizes a moment and acts on it in the next twenty minutes. That is the instinct we are hiring for. What You'll Do Publish daily across platforms. Schedule and post the day’s pieces, newsletters, podcasts, and videos across X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit. Make platform-native content. Pull quote cards, carousels, stories, and clips from Dispatch reporting, analysis, and podcasts. Adapt the same story differently for each platform rather than cross-posting. Cut clips. Review podcast and video episodes, flag the moments worth clipping, and produce them for social. Own community engagement. Monitor comme
