Posting for Editorial Internship at Corporate Knights magazine (Toronto)
Job
title: Editorial intern
Rate
of pay: $2,000 over four months
Expected
hours per week: Minimum 12 hours
Duties
of the job: Writing and research support for a
small, socially progressive national business magazine with a Canadian
circulation of 100,000 focused on sustainability issues. We are based in
Toronto. We are flexible on hours of work, as long as they land within regular
business hours. We are located at the corner of Richmond St. and Spadina Ave.
Skills
and experience expected of a successful candidate:
We are seeking a senior journalism student or recent graduate with an interest
in both business and environmental/social justice issues. Obviously, strong
writing and interviewing skills are a must. It would be beneficial to have
experience with social media and, from a research perspective, a knack for
digging up information.
A
brief word about project: The successful candidate
would support the creation of our spring issue, which is distributed across
Canada through the Globe and Mail. A key part of the position will be
completion of a 1,500-word feature assignment that, when published, would earn
the writer $1,500. Another $500 is available for smaller writing assignments.
This internship offers an opportunity to collect bylines, learn the inner
workings of an upstart magazine, network with a who’s who in the world of
business and sustainability, and help a national publication promote
environmental and social responsibility in the corporate world. Some of our
past interns have gone on to become freelancers for the magazine and, when
openings are available, permanent staff members.
