CINCINNATI MAGAZINE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM -- Next application deadline is 
June 1.
   
  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:
