To be considered, please submit a resume along with a cover letter, with links to a website of your work or 2-3 relevant work/project samples if applicable. ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 3/28/22.

ABOUT PEOPLE:
PEOPLE revolutionized personality journalism in 1974; today it is the world's most successful and popular magazine. Each week, the PEOPLE brand brings 81 million consumers the latest news, exclusive interviews and in-depth reporting on the most compelling people of our time. In addition to unparalleled access to the entertainment community, the stories of real-life "Heroes Among Us" remain an essential component.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
The ideal PEOPLE intern is a resourceful, independent person who jumps right in and becomes part of the staff-someone with more than a passing familiarity with the lives of famous people, as well as an interest in current events and social issues.
ABOUT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS:
The intern will report and quickly write online stories-and fact check and research stories for the weekly magazine, often under intense deadline pressure.
ABOUT YOU:
The intern should have worked at a campus publication or as an editorial intern-and should be a creative thinker, a self-starter, professional, resourceful and a team player. Strong writing skills are a must. The intern must also be enthusiastic and see the big picture but pay close attention to detail, too-a thinker and a doer. He/she must also like working in a fast-paced, news-driven environment and should feel comfortable using Twitter, Facebook and Instagram as reporting tools.
Because of the nature of news, some late evening and weekend work will be required on "closing" days. This internship opportunity is open to college juniors, seniors, grad students and recent grads.
