A&E/Cultural Editorial Internship

San Francisco Bay Guardian: An independent, locally owned and edited newspaper

What we offer

The Bay Guardian offers opportunities for its interns to develop reporting skills and to write numerous articles. We also provide workshops for interns on city politics, research and writing skills, and freelancing. Interns advance at their own pace. Although there are no guarantees, interns should leave the paper writing better and faster.

What we're looking for

We are looking for self-motivated people with strong research, fact-checking, and writing skills, but prior journalistic experience is not required. Some familiarity with the Bay Area is helpful. In choosing interns, we take into consideration how well our intern program mirrors the readership our newspaper serves. People of color, lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants from both student and nonstudent populations are welcome.

What we expect

Interns begin the four-month program by writing one Superlist (a guide to interesting, often offbeat services and locations in the Bay Area), then move on to more complex research and writing projects.

News interns help staff reporters with research and news gathering and develop their own short articles. They cover events, write blog entries, and in time some may write longer features.

For those whose interests lean more toward arts and entertainment, there are four slots open for A&E interns , who write previews and short reviews. These interns are hired based on writing skills and their knowledge of music, film, visual art, theater, or any combination of the above.

We also offer three Culture and Web intern positions. The Web intern will help post and edit the Web site, write blog posts, and otherwise assist the Web editor. The food intern will focus on food and drink-related news, events, and reviews for special sections, blogs, and culture stories. The style intern will focus on fashion and shopping-related news, events, and reviews for special sections, blogs, and culture stories. Proven experience in these areas and familiarity with blogging is a plus.

Although the focus for all interns is on reporting, they do have some administrative responsibilities. These include sorting some departmental mail, distributing faxes, and occasional typing or data entry jobs.

Internships require a commitment of two full days each week (during regular business hours) for four months. Interns' schedules will be arranged at an orientation prior to the internship. All internships are voluntary and unpaid.
