Country Living

by Willy Franzen on June 4, 2009

Summer internships are quickly disappearing, but I’m going to see how much longer I can find some for those of you stragglers who don’t have an internship. If you don’t act soon, you’re going to know all about “country living” because your parents are going to send you off to work on a farm. Now, I don’t know about working on a farm, but I do know about country living because I interned at Orvis, a company whose tagline is “distinctive country living.” With that said, I’ve never picked up the magazine Country Living—probably because their idea of country living is a little different than mine. They focus on areas like decorating, antiques, crafts, and recipes. All good stuff, but it sure isn’t fly fishing. Country Living is a Hearst magazine, and they clearly have their niche figured out. They’re focused mostly on women who are into getting away to a slower style of life, and their editorial and advertising certainly reflects that.

National Geographic

by Willy Franzen on May 9, 2009

If you’ve made it all the way to college without ever watching or reading some sort of National Geographic material, there has to be something wrong with you. Despite their dot com web address, National Geographic is actually “one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world” according to Wikipedia. Their main focuses “include geography, archaeology and natural science, the promotion of environmental and historical conservation, and the study of world culture and history.” You probably know them best for their yellow-bordered magazine covers and fantastic documentaries. The organization is more formally known as the National Geographic Society, and they are headquartered in Washington, DC. They’ve been around since 1888, and they continue to be a powerhouse when it comes to publishing educational content about the natural world.

Glam Media

by Willy Franzen on April 29, 2009

Back when we featured Glam Media on One Day, One Job, there were rumors that they might be valued at more than a billion dollars. It seemed possible because Glam Media was the the #1 online women’s property with a network of over 600 publishers who reported 77 million unique visitors in the most recent month. Not too shortly after, Glam Media was facing layoffs. That’s what happens when your business is built on display advertising and a recession hits (I know the feeling). Anyway, Glam Media still has a lot of growth potential, and they now seem to be focused on entering the men’s market as well. They’re still an exciting place to be, and even if they’re overhyped, as some say they are, it would be a pretty cool place to intern.

The Knot

by Willy Franzen on April 7, 2009

As a college student ready to dip your toe into the real word by taking an internship, you’re entering a new lifestage. Unfortunately, it’s not a lifestage that The Knot can help you with. They’re a “lifestage media company,” but they focus on major life events related to growing your family – engagements, weddings, and births of first children. These things may seem far off to you, but within a couple years of graduating (if not sooner) you’ll have friends who are getting married and having kids. Eventually you’ll probably do the same, and when you do, there’s a good chance that you’ll come across one or many of The Knot’s media properties. They have a flagship website at TheKnot.com in addition to books, magazines, and tv programs (see all of their brands). People can get pretty crazed when they’re about to enter a new lifestage, which is why The Knot has been so successful in providing media that makes it all a little easier. Too bad they don’t have anything for the internship search, but at least we do.

The New York Times

by Willy Franzen on March 4, 2009

If you’ve been reading for a while, you’ve probably heard me talk about old media and new media. Old media is dying and new media is thriving. And if there’s any proof to back that up, it’s that The New York Times – probably the world’s strongest old media brand – is facing severe financial struggles. But they’re still The New York Times. They’re trying to grab hold of new media, and they’re doing a lot of things right, but they’re just too big. New media is all about being small and agile, and large corporations still have a lot of adjusting to do. With that said, it’s evident from The New York Times’ internship postings that they’re moving in the right direction.

Niche Media

by Willy Franzen on February 27, 2009

Some might say that high-end and luxury are always in, but if there was ever a time that they weren’t, it’s probably now. That’s not going to stop Niche Media from doing what they do. They “produce must-read, luxurious magazines that mirror the sensibilities and spirits of the unique, vibrant communities to which they cater.” Their titles include Art | Basel | Miami Beach, Aspen Peak, Bal Harbour, Boston Common, Bridgehampton Polo, Capitol File, Gotham, Hamptons, Los Angeles Confidential, Michigan Avenue, Ocean Drive, Ocean Drive Español, Philadelphia style, Style: Palazzo/The Venetian, Vegas, and Wynn. Sounds like a list of places that you’d like to go on vacation, huh? That’s the point.

Skiing Magazine

by Willy Franzen on January 21, 2009

Maybe it’s just me, but I swear that whenever I’m writing about an internship that has seasonal ties, I’m writing about it in the wrong season. That’s not the case today. Although Chicago is pretty flat, I don’t think we’ve seen a day above freezing in months. I’d imagine the snow at the ski resorts across the country has to be in great shape this year. I guess with these internships, you’ll be applying when the time is right, but if you land the internship for the summer or fall, it won’t be ski season anymore. That’s ok, if you can’t be skiiing, you might as well be thinking about it while interning at Skiing Magazine. I think that it’s pretty obvious what Skiing Magazine is all about, although I’d be interested to know how it differs from SKI Magazine which is put out by the same publisher, Bonnier Corporation.

Family Circle

by Willy Franzen on January 15, 2009

This is a guest post by Lauren Berger aka “The Intern Queen.”

Who says everyone can’t read Family-Related magazines? These magazines aim to lure in people of all ages with their articles about all stages of family life – from baby to tween to pre-parent to grandmother. Family Circle is one of the “family” titles that I especially enjoy. Between the magazine and the website, my favorite articles are the ones that cover Teen trauma issues: such as alcoholism and education. My favorite feature on the website is their delicious recipes that I try oh-so-hard to copy in my own apartment kitchen! Family Circle Magazine is a title put out by the Meredith Corporation – known for titles like PARENTS, MORE, AMERICAN BABY, etc. Family Circle’s content covers a wide variety of food, health, family, parenting, teen, adolescent topics. Both the Family Circle Magazine and the Family Circle Website, www.familycircle.com, are looking for interns for the Spring of 2009 and the Summer of 2009 in their New York City offices.

Intern For Family Circle Magazine

If you are looking for an editorial, web, photography, or art design internship than I would send you in the direction of FAMILY CIRCLE MAGAZINE or FamilyCircle.com. They search for high-energy candidates that are passionate about family/women/health related issues. The internship requires you to do a variety of tasks (depending of the department you are in). The health and editorial interns are responsible for assisting the editors, researching, writing, organizing and handling the product samples that come into the office, and of course some administrative work. The interns on the web, art design, and photography side are requested to have some experience with Adobe Design Suites like Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator). The interns in this department will work with the designers and editors on a daily basis and assist with cover and back-cover creations. They will also help with photo research, lay outs, updating mini-boards, and perform a few administrative tasks. To apply for these internships please visit quarterlife.com/intern and send your resume to me (The Intern Queen!).

Lauren Berger

Lauren has interned at companies like FOX, NBC, MTV, BWR, etc. Lauren Berger launched www.quarterlife.com/intern in August of 2008.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

by Willy Franzen on December 8, 2008

I’ve said it before, and I’m going to keep saying it. Newspapers are in trouble, and interning with a newspaper that is stuck in the pre-Internet world is a waste of time. You’ll be learning skills that are quickly becoming obsolete. Social media is the future of news, but an internship with some blog may not be the reputable resume item that you’re looking to add to your resume. So what do you do? You find a newspaper that gets it – one that is embracing the future of news on the web wholeheartedly. A good example is the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, better known as STLtoday.com on the web. They seem to have some pretty cool internship offerings that will help you build skills that will still be useful when you graduate and need to look for a job (things are seriously moving that fast these days).

Boston Children’s Museum

by Willy Franzen on November 22, 2008

I’m in the lucky position of having a girlfriend who has an 8 year old sister. That means that I have a built in excuse to continue to do “kid things,” even though I’m way too old to do them on my own without seeming creepy. Mini golf and bowling are certainly staples, although it’s not too weird for 20-somethings to do those (bowling with bumpers is another story), but one of my favorites is going to children’s museums. Not only do they provide a lot of fun, but they also always seem to teach me something. It’s amazing to see complex concepts explained with simple exhibits and toys. I also particularly enjoyed the “screaming booth” at one museum because I was able to max out the decibel meter. Now, the Boston Children’s Museum may or may not have a screaming booth, I don’t know, but they do have some exciting internships for college students. That means that you can have a built in excuse to continue to do “kid things” just like I do.

Page Six Magazine

by Willy Franzen on November 19, 2008

I hate gossip mags. I really do, but I know that there are a ton of you out there who love them – whether you’re willing to admit it publicly or not. You’re fascinated by the sordid details of other people’s lives, and you can’t get enough. If you’re from the New York area, you’re probably familiar with The New York Post’s Page Six (the gossip page) and Page Six Magazine. Page Six Magazine is full of gossip, but it also covers much more pleasant things like Fashion & Beauty, Lifestyle, and, my favorite, Food. Page Six Magazine is currently looking for some interns, so if you love what they do, keep reading. And for those of you who hate gossip like me, check out internships at Space Camp – they’re out of this world! (I’m ashamed that I just typed that.)

Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive

by Willy Franzen on October 21, 2008

Newspapers are dying. If you’re a college student, there’s a good chance that the only newspaper that you ever read a physical copy of is your campus’ daily. When you graduate, you probably won’t subscribe to a newspaper. Everything is moving online, and the industry is suffering financially because of it. With all of this change, there’s also a lot of opportunity. Interning in a traditional newsroom can offer some amazing learning opportunities, but the future is working in an interactive newsroom. Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive is the digital arm of The Washington Post (and we think that it may eventually be the only arm). WPNI consists of WashingtonPost.com, Newsweek.com, Slate, BudgetTravel.com, Girlfriends Getaways, Sprig, The Root, The Big Money, Loudoun, and Ad Specs and they are looking for a ridiculous number of interns.

Ford Models

by Willy Franzen on July 10, 2008

Do you love fashion? Do you enjoy being around beautiful people? Are you trying to date a model? These are all reasons that you might want to intern for Ford Models. Some of these reasons are more legitimate than others, but from what we gather, you need to be really serious about the modeling industry to land an internship with Ford Models. Competition is fierce for the limited spots they have, and finding information on how to land an internship with Ford Models is pretty tough. We’ve done a bunch of research, and we think we’ve got most of the details figured out. So if you’re ready to give up that dream of being a model yourself, then maybe interning at a modeling agency will be what you need to plan your new direction in life.

Conservation International

by Willy Franzen on May 25, 2008

I grew up in suburban Connecticut, but I spent a lot time outdoors, both around my house and in more wild places. During my childhood I rarely saw deer, turkeys, coyotes, or hawks. Only a few times did I ever hear or see a woodpecker. Seeing wildlife was special. As I got older that began to change. I see all of the above relatively often now, and I swear that I hear a woodpecker banging away every day now. I definitely consider this a victory for local conservationists who have worked hard to save and bring back wildlife habitats; however, I also know that many species of flora and fauna are still in danger across the world. Conservation International is an organization whose mission statement should be “saving life on Earth.” Instead they have chosen the slightly less terse:

We believe that the Earth’s natural heritage must be maintained if future generations are to thrive spiritually, culturally, and economically. Our mission is to conserve the Earth’s living heritage – our global biodiversity – and to demonstrate that human societies are able to live harmoniously with nature.

Either way, they’re doing great work towards helping the world balance the needs of society with nature.

Pi Media

by Willy Franzen on March 14, 2008

We couldn’t resist ourselves. We’re math nerds (who have a fondness for offbeat holidays), and we love Pi Day. For those of you who don’t get it, March fourteenth or 3/14 represents the first 3 digits of pi. That means that at 1:59:26, the date and time will represent 8 digits of pi. How do we celebrate Pi Day besides coming up with a pi-related internship for you? We take recommendations from PiDay.org and eat pies and other circularly shaped delicacies while reciting as many digits of pi as we can from memory. Hey, we never claimed to be cool. We went back and forth about what kind of internship to feature, and even asked a math teacher for recommendations. We found a company called Pi Media that we just couldn’t pass up. Today, we won’t be talking about internships in math, private investigation, or baking. Sorry.
