The successful candidate will get hands-on reporting experience covering a variety of beats for the award-winning Quad-City Times and Dispatch-Argus and have a hand in project reporting.

Qualified candidates should be capable of producing compelling content for our digital and print platforms. Interns should feel empowered to find and pitch stories about our communities.

The intern will work out of the combined newsroom in Davenport, Iowa.
