If you love New Mexico, live in a unique area, know interesting characters, have a New Mexico specific experience to share, my publishing company wants your submissions!
Local media company, One Headlight Ink, LLC, will be launching an online, lifestyle magazine this September.
The New Mexico focused publication will showcase the state's natural beauty, vibrant people, cutting edge industries, unique experiences, and much more!
In addition to featuring content staples by our staff writers, we're proud to extend several offers to motivated student contributors (students of life, of all ages welcome).
We aim to provide new and exciting content showcasing our great state - which will be marketed around the world.
In addition to copywriting, journalism, and creative writing experience, our interns will have opportunities to research state topics that may be of particular interest to them, individually. Interns will be encouraged to pitch their own ideas, and will be provided support in pursuit of their selected stories, and their assigned writing, e.g. introductions, as needed, credentials, etc.
Flexible workload, to be determined. Interns may be asked to edit each other's work. Some light admin duties may be required from time to time, such as publication related phone calls, scheduling, or company errands.
Assignment related expenses will be paid as a per diem, or reimbursed, on a pre-approved basis. All academic reporting criteria will be provided. Published stories will be included in various company marketing and promotions. Interns may be asked to give media interviews in support of those promotions.
Opportunities for full-time positions may be available upon completion of internships.
In this age of the remote newsroom, our interns will receive invaluable experience in a diverse and dynamic field.
