Full-Time Internship
Broadband Breakfast is the leading media company advocating for higher-capacity internet everywhere through topical, timely and intelligent coverage. Broadband Breakfast is a decade-old news organization based in Washington that is building a community of interest around broadband policy and internet technology, with a particular focus on better broadband Infrastructure, the politics of privacy and the regulation of social media. We took our name from the Broadband Breakfast Club that we launched in 2008, and are in the process of relaunching several broadband-related event series.

Academic and internship credit available; event registration costs will be provided. Academic and Journalism Interns are expected to write one to two “Roundup” articles a week, and between five to eight other articles a week.
