Global Undertones Magazine internship

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. 

QUALIFICATIONS

• Have at least a B.A./B.S. or be currently enrolled.
• Preference is given to interns with some background in Political Science, International Affairs, Global Studies, History, and related interdisciplinary studies.
• Knowledge or ability to learn AP Style writing.
• Strong writing skills.
• Reliable Internet and computer access.
• Able to commit for at least 3 months.
• Willingness to work with our editors.

To apply: Please send your resume and a short writing sample (preferably about a worldly event) accompanied by an email explaining why you're interested in this position to jobs@globalundertones.com.
