Business Insider Is Hiring An Intern Who Wants To Learn How To Edit
The ideal candidate, above all, is interested in editing, copy editing, packaging, story selection, and is a voracious consumer of news on the web, with a whole roster of interesting blogs and Twitter feeds they follow.
Among other things, this intern's responsibilities would be to:
- Review and edit contributor stories and rewrite headlines to fit Business Insider style (snappier, more provocative)
- Become familiar with verticals and search for potential contributors
- Be comfortable with production work and quick turnaround for inputting new stories and slide shows
Think of it as a crash course in digital journalism -- a great opportunity to learn about aggregation, editing, curation, and the ins and outs of navigating a CMS. And, as a bonus, you'd get to write a bit on the side.
If interested, please send your resume and cover letter to jliebman@businessinsider.com.
Please note that this internship is full-time (40 hours a week) out of our Manhattan headquarters.
