The City Limits Accountability Reporting Initiative for Youth, or CLARIFY, is a paid journalism internship for New York City high school students. The fall session will take place remotely from Oct. 18 to Dec. 20.
Interns will be trained in the essential tenets of reporting and news writing, hear from journalist guest speakers about what it’s like to work in the industry, and work closely with City Limits’ reporters on locally focused news stories with the goal of getting their work published in City Limits and in a student-produced newsletter.
“I would summarize it as a one in a lifetime experience and just an eye-opening opportunity. I never got an opportunity to do this type of reporting at my school.”
--Feedback from a recent CLARIFY intern
We're especially looking for students with Spanish-language skills to take part in our bilingual cohort, who will help us produce stories for City Limits' Spanish-language news initiative, Una Ciudad sin Límites.

"There is a real solution: end the off-street parking requirements mandated by archaic zoning laws enacted when gas was cheap and full of lead, elevated trains were being torn down, and flying cars were the future. With climate change now posing an existential threat, it is time to move on."
—James Lloyd, director of policy for the New York State Association for Affordable Housing.
Opinion: The Moral Imperative to Close Rikers Island
The city’s plan to close Rikers by 2027 is "not a perfect plan, but it’s the best plan thus far. And to do the bold and necessary thing—to see this plan through to completion—will take moral courage and political leadership."
—Rev. Chloe Breyer, executive director of the Interfaith Center of New York
