Cincinnati Magazine is accepting applications for spring interns
through TOMORROW!! Read on for details and apply now to take advantage
of this great opportunity.
CINCINNATI MAGAZINE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
The intent of our program is to give students a taste of magazine life
that broadens their horizons when it comes to choosing a career. Some
of our former interns have gone on to full-time jobs in magazine
publishing, armed with research, writing and reporting skills that they
honed during their time with us.
The primary areas of responsibility during the four-month internships
are:
1) Fact checking - Every story that appears in the magazine is checked
for accuracy, making fact checking the number one priority in our
publishing process.
2) Research/reporting - You will be expected to help out on the
research and reporting for our larger writing packages (i.e. Top
Doctors, Dining Out Guide, Travel, etc.).
3) Completing short writing assignments - While fact checking is the
number one priority in our internship program, we also encourage
interns to research and pitch story ideas that would be appropriate for
our readership. We guarantee that interns will get one clip for their
portfolios, but additional opportunities to write for publication
depends on the initiative students show on non-writing assignments.
4) Staff participation/interaction - Part of successfully completing an
internship with us means that you have attempted to become a part of
our staff. We expect interns to be proactive in asking questions,
providing editorial input when requested and seeking out the answers
they need.
**NOTE: This is not a writing internship, however, the research and
fact-checking responsibilities interns have at our magazine are very
similar to tasks that many would take on in entry-level magazine jobs.
Our internships are UNPAID and we require a minimum of 15 hours per
week in the office (times and days vary depending on class/work
schedules). If you are still interested, please e-mail your resume,
cover letter and clips to [log in to unmask] or mail them to:
