Summer Intern at NY Times / NYU - The Local East Village

2012-03-06 » Journalism Internship » Online

Company Description

The Local is produced by NYU's The Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute in collaboration with The New York Times.

Job Description

The Local East Village is offering an opportunity to write for the Website of The New York Times during the summer of 2012: May 14 to Sept. 1. A collaboration between The Times and NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, the online news site seeks reporters that are eager to produce lively, engaging, and timely stories about one of the city’s great neighborhoods. If not local residents, applicants should be savvy about the East Village and eager to explore it to the hilt, with an eye for news minutia as well as larger stories in the areas of education, politics, crime, housing and real estate, arts and culture, and business openings and closings, to name just some of The Local’s areas of coverage. You should be able to cultivate sources and write quickly and accurately, with an engaging, “bloggy” tone and sense of humor when appropriate. During the summer, you’ll be representing The Local and The New York Times; an adaptable, outgoing, professional demeanor is a must.

This job (pay rate: $500 per week) will require that you act as a news runner daily from the hours of 9 p.m. till 6 p.m. You’ll be on call at 20 Cooper Square to report stories as assigned by The Local's editor, a visiting professor at the Arthur L. Carter Institute; you'll also be working closely with the site's full-time on-staff reporter. You may be asked to cover nighttime events such as community board meetings. Since you’ll also be encouraged to pitch stories and even come up with ideas for regular columns during weekly editorial meetings, creative thinking and a familiarity with the blogosphere is a plus. We’re looking for someone who is proactive, eager to share ideas, and has a sense of fun. But above all, The Local strives to be the first to report neighborhood news in a competitive environment; you should be able to thrive under tight deadlines and turn around copy that meets the standards of The Times, editors of which work closely with The Local in case a story warrants pick-up across other NYTimes.com blogs or in the newspaper. You should expect to write a story per day, and be able to work on longer features while also producing shorter items.

Applicants should be competent in digital photography, since they’ll be expected to take photos for stories; experience with video reporting and editing is a plus, as is a familiarity with social media. A strong knowledge of HTML and WordPress is all the better. In addition to reporting duties, you may be asked to create event listings, link dumps, and the like.

Please have proven experience in the field of journalism and a deep respect for the tenets of the craft. Graduate students of the Arthur L. Carter Institute or other journalism schools will be considered so long as they are exceptional writers with a proven track record.

To Apply

After visiting The Local at http://nytimes.com/eastvillage, please send a copy of your C.V. and links to at least five relevant clips to the editor, Daniel Maurer, at danielm@nyu.edu. Send attachments only if your stories are not available online. A link to your Flickr page or any other photo work will also be helpful.

UPDATED: Call for Creative Non-fiction Fellows at Asian American Writers' Workshop

2012-02-20 » Journalism Job » Print

Company Description

ABOUT THE ASIAN AMERICAN WRITERS' WORKSHOP
For nearly twenty years, The Asian American Writers' Workshop (http://www.aaww.org) has been devoted to creating an alternative space of Asian American arts and letters. We're a fast growing cultural center devoted to quirky but curated, progressive arts programming.

Job Description

UPDATED

Open City: Mapping Urban Asian America, a new online magazine on Asian American news and culture in New York, is hiring creative nonfiction fellows to produce content on the vibrant immigrant communities of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. The new magazine will offer smart takes on Asian American (particularly immigrant) culture as it's lived in New York right now. Imagine stories on: the proliferation of x-rated video stories in Sunset Park, migratory patterns of Little Pakistani residents, karaoke bar culture, gentrification in Chinatown, or how Korean taco trucks define ethnic borders and space. Applications are due on March 2, 2012.

What is Open City?
Open City started off as an anti-gentrification blogging initiative aimed to expose the stories of voiceless immigrants in New York City. We're re-launching it this spring with that same goal in mind—and then some. The new magazine—edited by Kai Ma, New America Media award-winner and former editor-in-chief of KoreAm magazine—will offer smart takes on Asian American (particularly immigrant) culture as it's lived in New York right now.

Imagine stories on: the proliferation of x-rated video stories in Sunset Park, migratory patterns of Little Pakistani residents, karaoke bar culture, gentrification in Chinatown, or how Korean taco trucks define ethnic borders and space.

About the Open City Fellowship
Open City seeks to foster emerging writers and develop their exposure and brand as professional writers. Perhaps you have a personal interest in one of these neighborhoods, and you want to help shape its coverage—while also developing a journalistic beat or area of expertise in gentrification, immigration or urbanism. Or you’re a writer that’s published a handful of times, and need a kick in the pants to get your career where you want it to be. Or you’re just hungry for creating stories that you and your friends actually care about. Then this fellowship is for you.

Each fellow will focus on ONE of the following neighborhoods: 1) Manhattan’s Chinatown/Lower East Side, 2) Flushing, Queens, 3) Sunset Park, Brooklyn, 4) Jackson Heights, Queens, and 5) Richmond Hill, Queens. The neighborhood, and the issues and people therein, will become your beat. The news, stories and information you produce are compelling conversation starters about issues that matter to you, the residents and community members you’ll be working closely with. It’s your opportunity to cover a community, and to do so creatively.

And that’s where “creative nonfiction” comes in. Open City is an outlet for original stories with creative flair. This fellowship allows emerging writers to hone their storytelling and “new journalism” skills by placing an emphasis on creative nonfiction—the literary child of muckraking and poetry. Either you need a gateway into this celebrated genre or you’re a creative writer-meets-citizen journalist. If so, we want to hear from you.

Each fellow will report directly to the Open City editor.

Fellows will now receive a stipend of $5,000, an artist retreat at Blue Mountain Center in the Adirondacks, and career lunches with Rebecca Solnit, Wyatt Mason, Jennifer 8. Lee & others. This is a yearlong fellowship that starts April 2, 2012.

Experienced, Probing, Domestic Public Policy Reporter at Remapping Debate

2012-02-14 » Journalism Job » Online

Company Description

Remapping Debate is a small, vibrant, not-for-profit online news journal with stable funding.

Remapping Debate’s mission is to counter the profoundly destructive assumption that undergirds most reporting: that existing U.S. domestic public policies somehow reflect nothing more than submission to inevitable facts of life that always have been and always will be.

Some of the questions that animate our work include: What kind of society do we want to have? Aren't there choices to make that would yield a better life for more people? Shouldn't we imagine desired substantive outcomes and then figure out what is achievable, rather than starting with the assumption that a wide range of substantive outcomes is not affordable?

Job Description

Remapping Debate, a small, vibrant, not-for-profit online news journal with stable funding, is looking for an experienced journalist who is eager to spend all day, every day, doing transformative reporting.

Requirements:

Minimum of five years of full-time experience as a journalist. The successful candidate will be someone who does serious, high quality work. He or she will be highly analytical, write with clarity and precision, and produce stories that are deeply probing without being wonky.

He or she must recognize that thorough and extensive interviewing is integral to most deeply-reported stories, that context is important, and that tough follow-up questions are essential. The right candidate will have intense curiosity about how domestic public policy reflects and is shaped by the questions that tend not to be asked by the press.

In short, we are looking for someone who can imagine the importance of making visible that which is often invisible.

Note on location: You can work out of our New York office, or be a bureau unto yourself if you need to remain in your current location.

Salary and benefits:

Competitive and commensurate with experience in producing the kind of stories we're interested in having reported. In other words, if you've got the talent and desire to help fulfill Remapping Debate's vision, don't think we won't pay you an appropriate salary.

We also pay 100 percent of health insurance premiums and provide unusually generous paid annual vacation time.

To Apply

Go to http://www.remappingdebate.org/node/914 and make sure that in the letter you attach you: (1) your understanding of the specialized approach to reporting taken by Remapping Debate; (2) your sense of what constitutes a sustainable pace of story production in connection with investigating, reporting, and writing pieces of depth and complexity on a wide range of domestic public policy topics; and (3) how you propose to secure and conduct "probing and challenging interviews of policy makers and advocates" in an environment where those policy makers and advocates are accustomed either to not getting tough questions to field or to avoiding those reporters they suspect might push them beyond their sound bites.

Job Description

In The Fray Magazine | Call for Submissions | December 2011: The
Kindness of Strangers

Recently in China, bystanders walked by after a toddler was struck by
two vans -- whose drivers then drove away. Her death caused
international soul-searching over the callousness and inhumanity of
modern society. In The Fray wants to approach this topic through a
more optimistic lens: the kindness of strangers. Tell us about those
who have touched other people and made a difference -- even if in
passing. Describe your encounters with good Samaritans as you were
traveling, going through an ordeal, or just living everyday life.
Share with us the kinds of stories that can turn a cynic's heart.

We are currently accepting pitches for articles that relate to this
theme or more generally to the magazine’s mission of understanding
other people and encouraging empathy and tolerance. We are looking for
profiles, interviews, reportage, personal essays, op-eds, travel
writing, photo essays, artwork, videos, multimedia projects, and
review essays of books, film, music, and art. If interested, please
email submissions@inthefray.org with a well-developed, one-paragraph
pitch for your proposed piece as soon as possible -- along with up to
three links to your previous work -- NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 14, 2011.
All contributors are urged to review our submissions guidelines at
http://inthefray.org/submit.

As usual, we are open to submissions on other topics as well. Please
see the instructions at http://inthefray.org/submit for instructions
on how to send us a query.

We are also looking for writers, photographers, and artists who can
take care of specific assignments, including interviews, book and film
reviews, and accompanying photos and artwork. If interested, please
follow the instructions at the bottom of http://inthefray.org/submit
to join our contributors mailing list.

Job Description

Meredith Video Studios is a division of Meredith Corporation that produces Better, a national television program, as well as branded entertainment and internet content for Meredith brands.

Our interns have the opportunity to learn how a daily lifestyle show is booked, produced, directed, shot and edited. They assist with all of these tasks and will also have opportunities to work with our marketing and branded entertainment teams, should they choose to do so.

They will learn how to book guests, research guests and topics, prepare folders of information for hosts, greet and assist guests when they arrive, then see the process through from the interview on into editing.

Our interns sometimes work with the production crew, helping with props and working behind-the-scenes in the studio while shows are taped. They often spend time in the control room to learn the technical side of producing a show, as well.

In addition, interns will have the opportunity to go out into the field and assist on shoots with producers, videographers and hosts. Then, they will log tape that is shot during the field shoot.

This is a hands-on internship, during which students will not just observe, but will have the chance to assist with everything we do on a daily basis to put these two shows on the air.

Meredith Video Studios is looking for students who are friendly, organized and eager to learn about television production. Students must have strong writing skills and be willing to take the initiative in making sure they are getting the most out of their internship experience. MVS has a lot to offer, but it’s important for interns to let us know what they would like to focus on or learn more about, so we may cater their work to accommodate these needs.

To Apply

If interested, please contact Anne Ebeling at anne.ebeling@meredith.com with your résumé and a few words telling us why you would like to be a part of our MVS internship program.

Paid freelance writers for Etsy.com in the U.K., Mexico and Japan at Etsy.com

2011-04-26 » Contributor » Online

Company Description

Job Description

You may know Etsy as the online craft marketplace, but we’re also a media company with an online magazine and video series that get millions of monthly views. We see ourselves as anthropologists of commerce: curious about people and what they make, exchange and consume. By looking at the “stuff” that matters to our lives, we hope to understand more about what moves us as human beings.

Nowadays, there’s a clamoring to know the story behind what we buy — who made it, how, what route did it travel to our door? Our mission is to reveal these global stories, to introduce our audience to makers, collectors and the history of their goods. Etsy aims to restore community and culture to our commerce, and storytelling is one way we pursue this vision.

As we develop our global reporting team, we are seeking new writers for our blog who can scout and pitch short features (500-800 words) or take assignments. This is a paid position with the expectation of monthly or bi-monthly articles. At present, we are looking for writers based in the U.K., JAPAN and MEXICO, but writers in other countries are welcome to get in touch as we will continue to develop our global team throughout 2011.

Most posts will involve original reporting, but some may be developed off the news and online sources. You might introduce us to an street artist who works with scrap materials, or a teenager who steals copper from gravestones for reselling. Write a book review about beekeeping collectives. Find out who trawls the Goodwill auction sites for undiscovered treasures and tracks their provenance. Tell us about the iPhone factory worker whose photo reminded everyone that industrial products are often handmade. You can focus on objects and what they reveal about people… or tell the stories of the people behind objects… or illuminate how objects connect people.

To Apply

To apply, please send a resume and cover note telling us about yourself, including relevant details about your work in the country where you are based and your background or personal interest in the issues Etsy covers—design, crafts, the DIY movement, sustainability issues, and commerce. Please include a relevant clip or links to samples online.

Senior Staff Reporter at Remapping Debate

2011-03-03 » Journalism Job » Online

Company Description

Remapping Debate is a new online public policy journal that launched in October 2010. The heart of our work is original reporting. We take seriously the idea that the job of journalists is to question and to illuminate. We believe that we need to question ourselves as much as we question others.
We think we need to reject the mental borderlines that leaves "mainstream" reporters generally speaking to "mainstream" sources, and "alternative" reporters generally speaking to "alternative" sources.
We insist that it is probing – not stenography – that can illuminate and inform, and that challenging a policy maker or policy advocate to engage with alternatives to a pre-scripted sound bite represents not commentary but an essential element of real reporting.

Job Description

Who are we looking for?
Journalists who want to do serious, high-quality, non-partisan but eyes-open work. Journalists who are highly analytical, who write with clarity and precision, and who produce stories that are deeply probing without being wonky. Journalists who take the time to research, who believe that context is important, and who ask hard questions. And hard follow-up questions.

What kind of environment do we provide?
That of a financially stable not-for-profit employer. An environment where excellence is demanded and seriousness rewarded. A home for thoughtful writers and thoughtful readers, operating at a fast but sustainable pace.

When?
These positions are available immediately.

To Apply

Please use the web form available at: http://www.remappingdebate.org/form/were-hiring, and be sure to: (1) provide your analysis of the role that underlying assumptions play in constricting and concealing fundamental decisions about the direction of public policy; (2) articulate your vision of the role Remapping Debate can play; and (3) include examples of relevant written work.

Company Description

Are you a passionate and entrepreneurial online journalist?

Want to be part of a dynamic and innovative team of journalists, engineers, designers and business pros who are creating a bold new solution for our industry? Would you like to help run a local news Web site, where you'll tap multimedia and social media skills to transform community journalism and connect with communities? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, keep reading…

We’re Patch.com, a start-up that’s radically reinventing community journalism. We launched in February 2009 and we now operate hundreds of local news sites in towns with populations under 70,000, and we continue to expand! Patch is founded on two core principles: that news matters in towns across the country and that we can create a successful business model to sustain it. Even as many newsrooms have been downsized or shut down, Patch is investing millions to create a nationwide network of news sites using our dynamic platform to produce meaningful daily and enterprise journalism and pioneer new forms of storytelling to serve communities. We have won acclaim in the industry and coverage in The New York Times, Forbes Magazine, Bloomberg, NPR's "Talk of the Nation," "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer," CBS News, and numerous industry blogs and Web sites. We've recently also announced Patch.org, a new initiative that will allow us to collaborate with local foundations and journalism schools to cover under-served communities.

Patch.com is looking for smart, innovative journalists to join our team as editorial interns this summer. We see this as nothing less than the future of online journalism. Our internships provide a great mix of hands-on work experience, professional development opportunities and social networking.

This is a 10-week full-time, paid internship and we have openings in many locations across the U.S.

And did we mention fun?
Patchers know how to have a good time, from our monthly Fun Club activities (activities range from paddle boarding lessons to cooking classes and bowling nights) to the Patch Give5 program that gives our employees paid time off to do volunteer work in their Patch community. Patch is all about serving communities, and this is one of the most important things we do.

* Work collaboratively with colleagues in a region to produce impactful breaking news, features and enterprise journalism and storytelling, and create new ways to connect with and engage communities

* Ability and willingness to work various hours outside of the typical M-F and 9-5, including evenings and weekends

Education:

* Candidates must be a junior, senior or graduate student or a recent graduate (within the last six months)

In print, The Chronicle is published in two sections: Section A, which contains news and jobs, and The Chronicle Review, a magazine of arts and ideas.

The print version is also available as a digital edition.

The newspaper is subscribed to by more than 70,000 academics and has a total readership of 350,000.

The Chronicle appears weekly in print except for every other week during June, July, and August, and the last three weeks in December (a total of 42 issues a year).

All the interns will have the same primary responsibilities: reporting and writing daily news articles for The Chronicle's Web site (which usually appear subsequently in print), writing news articles for other sections of the newspaper, and doing research for special projects. There is very little grunt work. Interns who prove themselves as reporters and writers are often asked to write full-length features.

Applicants for this internship must have a strong interest in pursuing a career in journalism, and should note on their application that they are applying for The Chronicle of Higher Education's Diversity Internship.

All the interns will have the same primary responsibilities: reporting and writing daily news articles for The Chronicle's Web site (which usually appear subsequently in print), writing news articles for other sections of the newspaper, and doing research for special projects. There is very little grunt work. Interns who prove themselves as reporters and writers are often asked to write full-length features.

The Chronicle places a premium on reporting that is accurate and writing that shines. All writing, including that done by staff reporters, is carefully edited. Interns typically leave with a set of strong, varied clips.

Requirements: Experience writing for publication, either at a student newspaper or a professional publication, is required. Candidates with previous internships and deadline-reporting experience are preferred.

To Apply

Applications must be received by 4 p.m. on Friday, October 8, 2010. Applications that are late, e-mailed, or faxed will not be considered.

The show is live, delivering national and international news and cultural stories through a conversational and unprecedented personality-driven format.

Cultural Correspondent at Scallywag & Vagabond

Company Description

Job Description

For better of worse Scallywag and Vagabond is a very much lauded media company with a worldwide audience. Many of our writers write for reputable media outlets including Vanity Fair, True Slant, Huffington Post, NY Mag, Rolling Stone. Conversely many of our articles have been featured by many of these same journals.

Scallywag and Vagabond is always on the look out for exceptional writers, who have demonstrated uncanny ability to digest a scene and promulgate provocation, wit, and the occasional faux pas.

Please be warned we are very discerning when it comes to bringing on writers and primarily look for a certain "Je ne sais quoi" that will separate you from most candidates.

If you come to write for us, expect to turn up to charity functions on our behalf, art parties, salons, the Bryant Park fashion collections, the most happening and exclusive parties, affairs in NYC, and the occasional jaunt to the French consulate or punk rock venue. You should also within time expect to interview celebrated members of society, famous and accomplished.

You should also be aware that we do not offer our new writers any pay. Please when applying also offer samples of published written work, your interests, passions, favorite sites, and what you believe the role of an artist/writer is. I will not answer your email if you don't take the time to do this much.

Unlike most journals, I am open to dissenting points of view, and if we like you, will provide you an ongoing forum. We are a thinking person's tabloid/cultural journal.

I look forward from hearing from you.

Christopher Koulouris,

Editor in Chief,

Scallywag and Vagabond
