Come learn with us!
We’re looking for a few exceptional students interested in journalism, marketing, and business to join our newsroom (90% remote with daily digital meetings). You’ll get a chance to take the pulse of the city, interview creative people and even confront the powers that be. Working closely with an editor, you’ll get to write. You’ll get to take photos. You’ll get bylines and photo credits. If you’re interested in the business side, you’ll work closely with the sales and business team.
The only coffee you’ll fetch will be your own.
You should be able to join us for 10-15 hours each week and have transportation (or the ability to access public transit), since we’ll be sending you out on assignment. You must live within our coverage area for that same reason. The internship is unpaid but we want you to get at least school credit for your work.
We have space for general news, digital media , special interest: politics, music, arts, and business interns.
Business Interns will work with our business and sales team on:
- Identify potential new customers through research, cold calling, email outreach, and other prospecting methods
- Shadow experienced sales rep during customer calls to observe sales techniques and build communication skills
- Collaborate with team members to maintain accurate CRM records
- Attend and participate in meetings, workshops, events, and exhibitions
- Liaise with clients, vendors, and suppliers on behalf of the company’s managers
If this sounds appealing, please send a cover letter, resumé and three samples of your work to Erica Rucker (erucker@leoweekly.com).
Please specify your interest area. We’ll consider applications on a rolling basis.
