Public Relations and Development Intern – Summer 2018
Public Relations and Development interns work with the Director of Communications and Development on an array of media and public relations projects. They identify news outlets, staff information tables, maintain media databases, track ongoing news coverage, draft releases, pitch stories, distribute public service announcements, and assist with materials development. Social media savviness and creativity is key as this intern plays a large part in drafting and designing material and articles for the JDI website, Twitter, and Facebook. These interns also assist in JDI’s ongoing Domestic Violence Homicide project, which identifies DV homicides in Massachusetts through a combination of media reports, alerts from JDI members, and notification by the District Attorneys’ offices.
Additional requirements: Familiarity with website content management and social media helpful.
