Editorial Interns
Our internships are very hands-on and a great way to get experience in both journalism and the music industry. You will never be asked to get anyone either coffee or lunch. Interns are responsible for securing press photos and album covers for publication, as well as writing show reviews, conducting feature interviews, writing concert previews, and publishing album reviews. There are also opportunities to work on special issue features reflecting your personal taste, the cultural calendar, and our connections to varying teams. You’ll stay up-to-date on events and shows in the tri-state area through building out our concert calendar, being shared on press releases, and even attending for review. Knowledge of music is a plus for candidates, as are writing and phone skills. Contact Debra Kate Schafer for details. (For credit only at the moment.)
Social Media Interns
There is no better way to get yourself seen and heard than through the Internet these days. We get that, which is why our social media interns are all about putting our content, such as feature interviews and concert Spotlights, on the map. Not just our own published work either, but that of bands, artists, performers, and organizations we are working with or admire. (Everything from wishing Harry Styles a ‘Happy Birthday’ on Instagram to posting throwback cover stories on Facebook to linking headlines of ours on Twitter.) If you are creative, personable, and engaging, this is for you. You could be designing posts, scheduling threads on Hootsuite, running contests, playlisting, and working hand-in-hand with our website, tracked analytics, and the music that is new, eventful, and relevant. Contact Debra Kate Schafer for details. (For credit only at the moment.)

Duties include distributing handouts, confirming cosponsors to insure that an event will run smoothly, and setting up equipment on site.
