Intern at Reason This Summer!
It's a barrel of laughs.


The Burton C. Gray Memorial Internship program runs year-round in the Washington, D.C. office. Interns work for 10 weeks and receive a $5,000 stipend.
The job includes reporting and writing for Reason and reason.com, and helping with research, proofreading, and other tasks. Previous interns have gone on to work at such places as The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, ABC News, and Reason itself.
To apply, send your résumé, up to five writing samples (preferably published clips), and a cover letter (the last of which should be in the body of your email--not an attachment) to intern@reason.com, with the subject line: Gray Internship Application. The deadline is March 26.
If your portfolio is not available in digital form (we really, really prefer digital), you can snail-mail a physical application to
Gray Internship
Reason
1747 Connecticut Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20009
Internship dates are flexible; the March 26 deadline for applications is not. Apply now!

A paid internship? That's soooooo un-libertarian! They should pay you!
you forgot to polish your monocle.
You'd think you'd select a more alluring magazine cover than Come intern at Reason and DIE!
Be forewarned; the Tale of Lucy.
I propose that Lucy be given next summer's internship.
And some, like Lucy, are living in a van down by the river.
You ruthless bastards.

I'll put my summer extern up against your summer intern any day.
So I'm considering applying. But I would like to hear it straight, particularly from whoever is actually hiring: How big of a barrier is not having a college degree?
I think the permeability is more important than the size of the barrier.
Not a big deal. Your day-to-day duties will mostly be getting coffee, and "servicing" Katherine Mangu-Ward. So, get a haircut, hit the weight room, and get down to Reason HQ and start shaking that money-maker.
Well if that's true, at least promise me that you won't fuck her until she stops with the robot teachers bullshit.
What the hell is wrong with robot teachers? It has to be better than the real thing. And I mean, if you can get a retired one on sale and re-program it as a personal sex-bot slave, Then what is un-libertarian about that?
You think they'd allow the models to look anything other than dowdy?
Yes. I think they would look like this.
I'm considering applying too, I'll be receiving a BA in poli sci in June, only I have no published writing samples.
My dream internship is Cato, but they offer you substantially less money for a stipend.
BRING BACK LUCY!
I'm serious, this reeks of dickholery.
Fuck i wish i lived in washington... legal weed.. that is all.. We are fucking backwards in downunderland, only english speaking country without marriage equality, there is virtually no discussion of drug law liberalization, and our government gets nannier and nannier everyday. We have a fucking carbon tax for fucks sake.. the government had completely forgotten the mistakes of Telecomm and is now trying to build a National Broadband Network... fml...
Also, who's lucy?
Lucy Steigerwald was a Reason intern last year who was really popular with the H&R crowd, mostly because she actually took part in discussions and engaged with the hecklers.
