Description
914INC., a business lifestyle magazine from the publishers of Westchester Magazine, is seeking FULL- AND PART-TIME Editorial Interns for the summer and fall and spring semesters at our Westchester County, New York offices. The internship is unpaid—and is only available to current students who are able receive credit for it—but is an exciting and rare opportunity to closely observe and participate in the editorial operations of magazine—including the opportunity to do original reporting and writing for those who are qualified.
Responsibilities
Research and "legwork" on upcoming stories (a lot of phone work and Internet-based research), original writing, interviewing, and reporting, compiling of data for editorial projects and for databases and lists which support the editorial operations of the magazine. Previous interns have gone on to become paid freelance contributors to the magazine.
Requirements
The ideal candidate will either be a business/economics/finance major with a dual interest in writing/journalism/media/publishing, or the converse.
Unlike many internships that involve making coffee and filing, this internship will offer opportunities to do extensive research, original reporting and writing, so qualified candidates must possess excellent writing abilities (with a solid command of grammar, syntax, and mechanics), meticulous research and organizational skills, and a polished, professional demeanor.
