What Will I Do?
As a DA Intern you will research, write and release news, respond to daily inquiries, interview key figures, arrange news events and conferences, escort media representatives, establish strategic information plans, assist commanders and communities and help produce newspapers, magazines, radio and TV programs.
Former Interns
Jenn
As a DA Intern I have the honor of not only telling our Army's story, but the story of each Soldier who is committed to our country. Every day I come home with the satisfaction that my actions are truly going toward a greater cause, to keep the public informed of our Soldiers' sacrifices. When I began my internship, I hit the ground running and nothing has slowed me down, there are only open doors and new opportunities.
Ashley
This internship has been life changing for me – being able to work with Soldiers and support what they do on a daily basis is one of the best feelings in the world. This program is challenging and exciting and allows you the opportunity to do things you never imagined. You receive the best training from the time you arrive at your initial training location until you leave the Pentagon. You will not be making copies or running to get coffee. You are working hands-on with Soldiers and senior leaders to tell the Army story. You will be challenged throughout the program.
Frederick
The DA Public Affairs internship program provides a great start toward building a career within Public Relations and gives you a well-rounded experience throughout all aspects within this field. Public Affairs Interns gain experience in Journalism, Community Relations, Media Relations, Social Media and other areas that broaden your professional development.
Jenny
Forget about the typical internship. The Public Affairs internship program is unlike any other. Where else can you receive a salary, benefits and professional training in one? From the first year, interns gain hands-on experience, transition into world-class training at Defense Information School and form life-long connections while working at the Pentagon for the Department of the Army Headquarters.
