Intern - Editorial

This is a Part Time Unpaid Internship

Picture Perfect magazine entertains, informs, educates and connects health, well-being and Entertainment, Sports, Politics and beyond. From the superstar actor and musician to the independent filmmaker; or the championship athlete and the casual observer, we go behind the scenes, on the carpet and around the world to bring our audience the best of Hollywood.

Picture Perfect interns report, edit, fact-check and copy-edit for our online and print publication. They will research and apply for press credentials, interview celebrities, attend press conferences, go to movie premieres-and handle reader mail and fetch the occasional package. Sometimes they get a byline, but most of the time they do what editorial assistants and assistant editors do-bang away at keyboards, brainstorm attend editorial meetings, and assist editors in making their deadlines.

Picture Perfect seeks a college student and/or recent graduate passionate about journalism to join us as an editorial intern. Duties include exploring current events, collaborating with staff on features, and promoting work via social networks. Interns must be able to demonstrate stellar communication skills and the ability to work independently with guidance. They must also be flexible in their areas of coverage and be able to contribute on anything from celebrity news to movie reviews and from politics to sports. We are an online community of writers and editors, and interns can work remotely with required face-to-face weekly meetings. This internship is unpaid, and college credit is available.

Intern should be comfortable with Microsoft Office, email, web-savvy and be comfortable making phone calls. Junior/Senior/Grad preferred. Experience with Adobe Creative Suite a plus but not required.

What we looks for in Interns:
• Academic training in journalism (but don't be afraid to apply for the internship if your school doesn't offer journalism courses or if you're not majoring in journalism
• Experience in campus journalism, preferably as a reporter or editor on a newspaper, magazine or website
• Previous internships or employment at city, regional or national newspapers, magazines or websites
