Journalism Internship

Media Organization: SAVEUR

Company Description

SAVEUR is a magazine for people who experience the world food first. Created to satisfy the hunger for genuine information about food in all its contexts, the magazine and its digital platforms emphasizes heritage and tradition, home cooking and real food, evoking flavors from around the world (including forgotten pockets of culinary excellence in the United States). It celebrates the cultures and environments in which dishes are created and the people who create them. It serves up rich, satisfying stories that are complex, defining and memorable.

SAVEUR is the definitive culinary and culinary-travel magazine of its generation. It has been honored with four American Society of Magazine Editors awards (including one for general excellence) and 17 James Beard journalism awards.

An interest in food, cooking, and travel are a must.

Video and photo skills are a big plus. This internship is unpaid; course credit optional.
All SAVEUR interns have the opportunity to connect with well-known people in the culinary world, as well as to attend parties, tastings, and events.

To Apply

TO APPLY: In the body of an email, write a few paragraphs about how great you are, including a brief outline of your work/education history, with links to clips if relevant. (Direct links to personal blogs and social media channels a big plus—not for background check purposes, but so we can see how good you are at the web.)
