We Want Spring Interns

Do you want to work as an intern at the TAC mothership in Washington, DC? We need spring interns. Deadline is tomorrow; apply here. 

It’s a pretty great gig, I’d say. Here’s what you get to do:

Editorial interns gain experience in all aspects of producing the website and print magazine. This internship offers real experience in all the moving parts of a media organization and exposure to both editorial and marketing projects.

Responsibilities include:

Preparing pieces for the web, writing headlines, curating images
Managing TAC’s presence on social media platforms
Contributing headlines and story ideas
Proofreading, fact-checking, and editing
Blogging for the web and writing for the print magazine
Devising strategies for audience development and engagement
Helping with event-planning and special projects

Clerical duties, such as answering the phone and handling the mail, are also involved.

All candidates should possess:

Eagerness to work tirelessly on a small but ambitious team
Superb writing and editing ability
Strong communication and organizational skills
Love of considered, lengthy journalism as well as an appreciation of horse-race politics
Excellent news/culture/opinion judgment
A background in intellectual conservatism and keen understanding of The American Conservative’s sensibility

Past experience with a news or opinion publication is preferred, though not required.

This is a really interesting magazine to work for, and the added advantage of being in the DC office is you don’t have to put up with me on the premises making you listen to me gas on about Dante.
