Untapped Cities is looking for some great folks to join our 12th internship class! Our interns get to do it all, writing published articles from day one, managing their own columns, exploring the city, and covering events.
As an Untapped Cities intern, you can learn how a web magazine really works, pitch your own ideas, have an article published within your first week, and, of course, re-discover the city you love. You’ll work out of our office in Brooklyn (picture above). If you go to school in New York City or if you’re just looking for journalism experience, we’re currently accepting applications to join our Summer 2016 class of interns in New York City. Read on for job descriptions.
Editorial Internship: The editorial interns will work directly with Untapped Cities’ Founder and Managing Editor on determining the publication schedule, proposing new articles, and writing their own regular column. Our editorial interns work on a full range of pieces such as our Daily Whats?!, featured pieces like this transit history of 5th avenue, and roundups, like the Top 10 Secrets of Grand Central. As an editorial intern, you will also gain experience with writing for search engine optimization and using social media to promote your own work. You don’t need to be a journalism major, as long as you’re a strong writer and can come ready with ideas for content.
Social Media/Communications Internship: The social media/communications intern will manage our social media channels, liaison with our publication partners like Business Insider and Huffington Post. You will also curate our weekly list of untapped events in NYC and select a weekly batch of great user submitted Instagram photos. You will work directly with the Untapped Cities’ Founder and Editors, and utilize various social media and sharing platforms like Instagram, Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and more.
Event Planning Internship: The event planning intern will work on our growing tours series, which have taken readers into the off-limits Woolworth Building, abandoned sites in New York City, a tour of Grand Central Terminal’s secrets and much more. The event planning intern should have experience planning and promoting events, and should feel comfortable coming up with event ideas for our readership interested in urban exploration.
Please contact info@untappedcities.com to apply. For the editorial internship, please send resume and writing samples in the Untapped vein to apply. If you’re applying for the Social Media/Communications internship, please send us your Twitter and/or Instagram handle as well as a resume and writing samples.
