News Writer/Editorial Trainee for Fashion Industry Magazine (Midtown West)

This is an ideal position for someone who loves to write and wants to do it full-time. As part of our staff, you will immediately become integrated into a busy editorial team and begin reporting news and trends about the apparel industry. You will quickly build up to a number of other responsibilities, including proofreading, copy-editing, working on photoshoots and otherwise partaking in the production of several magazines (though the position will always retain a heavy emphasis on writing). In this job, you will get to learn a great deal about magazine publishing.

Qualified candidates should have decided on a career in journalism, must be team-players and have 1-2 years of experience (internships okay). Candidates must be willing to take on writing assignments from day one. Knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop and Dreamweaver is a plus. You should also have an appreciation for fashion and the desire to learn the intricacies of this industry.

Send your cover letter and resume to magazinejobs@gmail.com with the headline 'editorial trainee.’ If possible, send your correspondence in the body of the email instead of attaching it.

The starting salary of this position is $31K + we also have a bonus mechanism which allows you to make significantly more based on performance (on average, $5k-7k on top your base). Benefits.
