Media Organization: Upstart Business Journal

Company Description

Upstart Business Journal is a national, digital publication covering entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, creative visionaries—and the startup businesses and disruptive ideas they’re unleashing on the world. Upstart is part of American City Business Journals, publisher of 40 weekly print business publications (and their related websites) along with a handful of digital-only entities. ACBJ is owned by Advance Publishing.

ACBJ’s overall strategy is simple: To provide the most comprehensive, exclusive coverage of local business in each market it serves. To do this, ACBJ is committed to top-quality journalism, excellent service to readers and advertisers, and active involvement in the local business community. Our coverage is timely, authoritative and actionable — and it lives wherever busy business leaders want it, via tablet, mobile phone, social media, website, print, email and more.

Job Description

Intern will be a regular contributor to the Upstart Business Journal during the summer of 2014. Among his or her tasks: tracking news and writing related blog posts, conducting interviews and doing research for enterprise posts, covering events, and shooting photos and video.

Position can be either full-time or part-time.

To Apply

Interested candidates need to send a resume, cover letter, clips or links. Deadline for the summer internship is 5 pm on Wednesday, March 19, 2014. Only students who have a genuine interest in covering business news with a digital first-mentality should apply. Also, ACBJ is looking at interns as possible future hires, whether at Upstart or at one of our papers across the country so knowledge of the company and its mission is crucial.
