Political Journalist Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize

Apply now for the Political Journalist Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize — a 6-month certified program on a rolling, always-hiring intake. Journalist interns on this track cover political events the way serious political journalism demands: parliamentary sessions, party conventions, campaign rallies, coalition negotiations, regulatory-press conferences, ministry briefings, civic-society actions. The output is not press releases — it is reporting with primary-source verification, contextual depth, and the editorial discipline our client engagements depend on. This is the internship description, the required skills, the eligibility, and the selection process, in full — for freshers who want political journalism measured in stories that hold up under cross-examination, not pages filed.

01The actual work

What will you actually do as a Political Journalist at CryptoMize?

Cover live political events for client engagements — parliamentary sessions, party conventions, campaign rallies, coalition negotiations, regulatory press conferences — with the editorial discipline the political cell demands

Backstop the cell's primary-source work: tracking parliamentary debates, party manifestos, election-commission filings, gazetted notifications, and the political-officer's briefing output for context

Write the political-news pieces that feed client counsel — explainers, briefings, op-eds, backgrounders — in language a client can defend in their own forum

Conduct structured interview passes with political stakeholders — MPs, MLAs, party officials, civic-society brokers, ministerial staff — feeding the cell's stakeholder-mapping work

Maintain the political-news monitoring discipline that makes coverage useful: real-time event tracking, attribution-chain consistency, primary-source verification before publication

Document every coverage cycle in a structured after-action note — what was reported, what was held back, what the cell should change next time — that becomes institutional reference material

Sit inside the political-journalism arm of an operation whose forecasts have tracked real electoral outcomes at 89% historical accuracy across 18 countries — your coverage becomes part of the political record our client counsel rests on
