Duties:
- Editorial interns are responsible for writing, editing and researching/fact-checking stories for print and online.
- Most interns contribute one or more stories per week to one or more of our online outlets and are encouraged to pitch and write stories for print.
- PM hosts numerous events throughout the year, and interns are encouraged to attend and/or assist.
Requirements:
- Interested students should be studying a field related to journalism, English or communications; we accept applications from students in other tracks but prefer that they have prior experience in writing, reporting, fact-checking and editing.
- We expect that our interns will pay attention to small details and be comfortable with handling a variety of editorial projects.
- Applicants should have a penchant for learning as well as top-notch writing and editing skills.
- Familiarity with photography or video-editing software is a plus but not a requirement.
Schedule:
- We offer part-time, unpaid positions that generally last for 13 weeks. Interns, who normally work 10-20 hours per week, must receive college credit in exchange for their time.
