Company Description

InTheFray is an online magazine for writers and artists to explore global issues and engage readers with personal perspectives and critical analysis.

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.

We look forward to hearing from you.

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.
