letters to the editor, press releases, and blog articles that bring PTP's mission to local and national

audiences. Your writing will appear in community newspapers, on our website, and in media pitches —

making the case for truth, civility, and a healthier public discourse. If you have a passion for writing and

a belief that clear, honest communication can change the world, this role is for you.

• Write blog posts and articles for the PTP website that educate and inspire a civic-minded audience
• Collaborate with the PTP director to ensure all content aligns with the organization's tone, mission, and non-partisan values

Qualifications

• Strong writing ability with experience in opinion, journalistic, or nonprofit communications writing
• Ability to research and write accurately on political, social, or policy topics without partisan framing
• Comfort adapting tone and length for different formats — from 150-word letters to 900-word op-eds
• Meticulous editing skills and commitment to factual accuracy
• A genuine belief in truth, civil discourse, and the role of media in democracy

Benefits & What You'll Gain
