GoGo News Internship
GoGoNews is looking for a Content Development Intern for the summer of 2012. GoGoNews is an online news platform aimed at children between the ages of 5-12.

The successful candidate must be an organized, self-starter, and detail oriented individual with the enthusiasm to be a part of this rapidly growing organization.
Duties of the successful candidate will include, but are not limited to:
- Content research
- Writing and editing of news articles
- Coordinating with foreign consultants for content purposes
- Monitoring daily events, and filtering the age appropriate content
- Developing new sections and topics to include in GoGoNews
The successful candidate will be required to work 20-30 hours a week. The number of hours may vary depending on the level of initiative the candidate shows. If hours decrease or increase significantly, the candidate’s pay will be adjusted accordingly.
This is a paid internship. The salary will be negotiated with the successful candidate.
