Military Veterans in Journalism (MVJ) is thrilled to announce the return of the MVJ-Washington Post Internship! The Washington Post is setting aside one seat in their Summer 2023 internship class for a military veteran journalist.

The Washington Post’s internship program is 10 weeks long, and the chosen intern will be treated as an employee of The Post. Interns will be paid. For summer 2022, the salary was $750 per week.

This will be an important early career step for veterans working to advance within the media field. You'll receive advice, guidance, and editorial support from an award-winning national newsroom team while gaining on-the-job experience.

Military Veterans in Journalism will host the 2022 MVP Convention in Washington, D.C., Thursday, October 6 - Saturday, October 8.

#MVJ2022 is the preeminent experience for the journalism world to put #MoreVetsInNews.

This year’s annual gathering will be our first ever in-person convention.

Journalists, non-profit professionals, newsroom leaders, and other supporters of newsroom diversity will gather in Washington, D.C. at the Reserve Organization of America to share, learn and connect with each other while focusing on supporting the under-represented community of military veterans in journalism.

This convention is an opportunity for organizations to engage with military veterans directly and learn more about their community. Recruiters can meet one-on-one for interviews, creating an intentional recruitment experience.

Military Veterans in Journalism (MVJ) now offers Journalism Grants for quality stories about issues related to disabilities in the military veteran community.

This program helps aspiring journalists grow professionally in their reporting careers and publish quality stories about issues related to disabilities in the military veteran community. Grant amounts vary depending on the story, and start at $500. MVJ has a total budget of $50,000 for all grants under this program, so they recommend interested parties apply as soon as possible.

MVJ is not a publishing organization – nor do they plan to be. But they care about developing the careers of military vets in journalism. So, if you are selected, they can help you shape your story and assist in getting the story placed. They'd like you to have an idea of where you want to publish your story.
