THE
POSITION
Interns will be
responsible for writing articles for our magazine's affiliated blog. However,
this is not your typical blogger position. Our interns don’t waste their time
writing news briefs summarizing popular stories; they write engaging analyses
of current affairs that are provocative, insightful, and academically sound.
Topics are of the
author’s choosing and must be approved prior to submission. In general, blogs
will cover current political, social, and economic issues, have at least five
citations, integrate visual and interactive media, and most importantly- offer
an insightful analysis based on demonstrated research.
Because of our
heightened standards, interns will only be responsible for writing one
1000-1200 word blog per week. This position gives interns the opportunity to be
published, receive professional academic and editorial feedback, and gain
practical working experience.
The
internship is a telecommuting position and requires reliable internet access,
email, and the ability and willingness to communicate weekly with our editors.
A commitment of at least 3 months is expected. Interns also have the option
submitting to our quarterly magazine, but will not be given
priority solely based on their intern status.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Weekly
tasks will include writing one 1000-1200 word blog and various tasks helping
out with outreach (inviting FB/Twitter followers to like our pages, encouraging
intern recruitment, and publicizing their own articles). Duties will
be 98% writing, 2% outreach.
