  • Produces clean, clear copy
  • Lives for the thrill of getting faves on Twitter and likes on Instagram and Facebook

Our interns are an integral part of our team, and many of our current writers and editors started as interns. We seek out self-starters and people who are enthusiastic about collaborating with other reporters, video producers, social media editors, and other team members.
