SUMMER INTERNSHIP
AOL Canada/Huffington Post Media Group
Location:Toronto
May - August
If you wanted that print reporting internship or to work for the traditional media outlet, this isn’t for you.
If you love the rush of breaking news, relish the opportunity to craft the perfect headline and have the confidence to make great lineup decisions, maybe this is for you.
If you use Twitter and Facebook, not only to consume information but to plunge right in there with vigour, then maybe this is for you.
If you are looking at the media landscape and had this thought: “Maybe I should work in digital,” hey, you’re on the right track.
And if you love the HuffPost, then read on:
AOL Canada/The Huffington Post Canada is looking for driven, talented and plug-and-play editor to join our team for summer. This self starter has a proven record of doing journalism -- writing and editing for your school paper. We are looking for editors who can work in news, entertainment and lifestyle.
You know how to Tweet, craft a great SEO and clever headlines, edit for CP style by rote and photo edit while you’re at it. You won’t hesitate to bring ideas to the table, write on the fly, and fast (but smart) is the way you operate. You don’t balk at picking up the phone and are able to juggle everything in this paragraph and more. Bring it on, you say.
This is a fast-paced, intensive internship that requires dedication and enthusiasm. But you knew that.
