CINCINNATI MAGAZINE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM (EDITORIAL)
The intent of our program is to give students a taste of magazine life. 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
--possibly reporting--for our larger feature 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 initiativestudents 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 interested, please e-mail your resume, cover letter and clips to

The primary areas of responsibility during the four-month web internships
