A Political Writer intern drafts position papers, manifesto sections, op-eds, and campaign narrative for live electoral engagements, researches constituencies and issues to a corroboration standard, and turns sentiment data into messaging — all under senior strategist review from month one. It is writing with consequences attached: what you draft gets read by people whose names are on ballots. ### What is the eligibility for the Political Writer Internship? Final-year students and recent graduates in any discipline with strong written English and genuine political literacy — the kind that includes knowing who holds which office and why the current session matters. No diploma is mandatory — we evaluate writing samples and current-affairs knowledge, not paperwork (clinical-licensed roles are the only exception). ### Is the Political Writer Internship paid? Compensation is discussed during the screening process and depends on demonstrated skill, engagement classification, urgency, and track record. We deliberately do not publish figures — every intern is evaluated and compensated individually. ### How long is the internship, and is a certificate provided? The program runs 6 months at our New Delhi HQ, with a certificate provided on completion — and a portfolio of published-grade political writing. Strong interns receive full-time offers. ### What is the selection process for a Political Writer intern? A short application form, one timed writing test on a current political issue with sources, and a final interview with the political desk lead. The cycle typically completes within two weeks because intake is rolling. ### Which skills should I develop before applying? Sentence-level written English, daily familiarity with political headlines, the habit of corroborating claims across sources, and tonal flexibility. Everything else — the platform, the standards, the campaign discipline — we teach in-house. Apply: https://cryptomize.com/careers/internship/apply/
