Editorial Intern
The Syracuse New Times regularly invites Editorial Interns to join our close-knit staff. The outlet has a focus on community journalism and seeks an intern with a passion for storytelling and exploring all things hyper-local.
The intern should be prepared to come to the office with a critical and creative mind, ready to tell the stories often missed in the daily-news drudge. Assignments could include such things as covering live music shows, the outcome of a big sports match, local politics, profiling new retailers or other community news assignments.
Interns will be presented with complimentary SNT-brand attire from Spinnaker Custom Products at the beginning of their employment, and will receive a monetary gift certificate at the completion of the internship.
Responsibilities:
- Produce one to two stories per week for our print publication
- Complete assigned stories and pitch own ideas in a timely fashion
- Be a company brand ambassador when out in the field
- Assist in the weekly story planning process
- Assist in managing and compiling the online events calendar
Requirements:
- Junior or senior college student studying journalism or public communications; or have demonstrated equivalent journalism reporting experience
- Can work remotely if needed; up for discussion
This is an unpaid, for-credit internship but could lead to paid freelance/part-time/full-time opportunities.
To apply, email a cover letter, writing samples, resume and list of references to Kira Maddox at [email protected]. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the position is filled on a seasonal basis.
