About Picture This Post and WHAT YOU WILL DO
Picture This Post magazine, www.picturethispost.com, alerts time-strapped readers to cultural offerings that are the best match for their interests in art, books, dance, film, museums, music, theater, as well as travel with a focus on culture. We not only cover culture creators and venues with high name recognition, but also delight in helping to showcase bold, creative strokes by fledgling artists in all genres.
Before applying, please study the variety of visual presentations in articles throughout Picture This Post—e.g. by auditing articles in every section of the magazine. (Click a Picture to READ a story.)
**Most student volunteers agree that story layouts—the focus of the publishing team-- are among the most fun and satisfying Picture This Post projects to engage in.
As a publisher, your duties will focus on:
-learn and master all aspects of the Picture This Post layout automation—helping to create pre-layouts (to expedite quick publication of 24-hour turnaround reviews) and layouts –eg 1 -3 layouts per day.
-PICTURE PREVIEW production—e.g. four articles/hour.
-Teaching layout to other staff members
-Quality control of the media library and all backend details needed for magazine organization, proper search engine indexing, and consistent visual presentation to readers
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.
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 and Recent Grads 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, and usually has special appeal to students and recent grads with majors in photography or graphic arts.
