YES! Magazines two online reporting interns collaborate with the web editor and web managing editor to assist with all aspects of reporting, editing, and posting progressive news for yesmagazine.org. These interns receive training and guidance in the essential skills of web journalism, including contacting sources, conducting interviews, organizing information, fact-checking, writing headlines, search-engine optimization, and uploading text and multimedia into our content-management system. Because this is a small team, this program requires interns to take substantial responsibility for writing and producing stories. Interns can expect to leave the program with a wide range of marketable skills in online journalism and publishing. Internships require an in-office time commitment of 30 hours per week for a minimum of three months. Although interns are unpaid, the organization supplies housing in a five-bedroom house near the office where most interns choose to live. Past interns emphasize that communal living helped them build strong friendships, encouraged exploration in Seattle and its surrounding areas, and encouraged them in their desire for more sustainable lifestyles. If an intern already has housing and would like to commute to the office, we will reimburse public transportation expenses. We also provide catastrophic temporary health insurance, or will pay for part of an intern's current health insurance coverage for the duration of the internship.
