We are now accepting applications for our fall internship (starts September, ends March) in all beats, or areas of concentration: News/Politics, Food/Drink, the Arts, Mudroom, Copyediting, Multimedia, Style/Bridal, and Travel/Tourism.
Learn firsthand how an award-winning magazine and website are put together.

Interns are expected to work closely with the respective editors of their beat and must be willing to pitch in where needed in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

We want our interns to walk away with strong clips that they have earned.
The position requires a minimum of 20 hours a week in 4- to 5-hour stints between the hours of 8:30am and 5:30pm weekdays.
