-have primary responsibility for managing workflows between writers, editors, content curators and publishers and scheduling training sessions

More Details on Your Internship:

Amy Munice, Editor in Chief, will be the primary supervisor of your internship. She is the co-publisher of the magazine, a 30+ year PR professional and freelance journalist, and cultural reporter who has penned many hundreds of articles. She will be the author of your future reference for job hunting purposes.

You will be responsible for submitting a weekly report to the editor-in-chief on your hours/tasks done and work in progress, as well as keep a cumulative report on your published articles, and other accomplishments such as layout for others’ articles. 

Training sessions are held by zoom—usually in small groups—throughout the week and weekend. Initially you will need to adapt your schedule in order to attend training sessions to learn layout, confer on rewrites/instruction, and more. Once you have the prerequisite skills, you determine your schedule each week in order to meet your school’s hour requirements for your internship.

ALL UNPAID– ALL REMOTE WORKERS:

Picture This Post is an entirely volunteer organization, from top to bottom. We are a not-for-profit (as opposed to a 501c3 non-profit) – too small to hire accountants etc. needed for non-profit status. Students are like all volunteers EXCEPT that much time/energy goes into training students and helping you develop a portfolio for future job hunting.  

This position is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in how an online magazine works.
