We are Newsdirect, a political intelligence company providing daily monitoring of political news and parliamentary proceedings. We specialise in reporting proceedings of the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly, but staff also monitor Westminster, the European institutions and the broader political arena. We work from offices on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile and in Cardiff Bay, close to the devolved assemblies that we report on.
Our clients include large public agencies, influential trade bodies and campaigning charities. Staff on our research team monitor a vast amount of information, across a range of sources, every day, using their knowledge of each client’s interests to identify the specific items that will be of relevance to each recipient.
Our reputation is built on the talent and dedication of our research and reporting teams who work closely together to provide a seamless service. Staff training is of the utmost importance to us, with everyone participating in a structured development programme - from intern to senior account manager - with regular support sessions and weekly team meetings.
We are now looking for a skilled and enthusiastic intern to support our research and reporting teams.
