About Media Research Center:

The Media Research Center (MRC) is America’s premier media watchdog. Since 1987, MRC has exposed left-wing bias in news and pop culture, defended free speech, and fought Big Tech censorship of conservatives. With powerful tools like its TV news archive and CensorTrack database, MRC provides hard evidence of bias and censorship. We educate the public and shape the national conversation across platforms that generate over 500 million weekly impressions.

The Media Research Center is seeking a Free Speech America Intern to join the team working to expose Big Tech’s suppression of conservative voices.
