Media-Related Internship

Media Organization: Love What Matters

Company Description

Love What Matters exists to spread real stories by real people far and wide, to celebrate the love, kindness and compassion they represent – while reminding us that these things do not happen by default, they’re a daily choice.

The moments we amplify on our platforms are also meant to serve as a balance to the kinds of things we see and hear about in the news every day.

These stories are bigger than any one of us, yet they represent every one of us. Our vulnerabilities. Our pain. Weaknesses. Successes. Beauty. Flaws. Generosity. And, of course, our hopes and dreams about who we aspire to be.

We’re thrilled to have you as part of the Love What Matters community of mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, doctors, nurses, cops, teachers and millions of other everyday heroes around the world.

We celebrate kindness, compassion, hope, forgiveness and love.

But most of all, we celebrate you.

Job Description

Love What Matters is a leading media destination focusing on stories of hope, kindness, compassion, support and healing. We reach over 35 million people per month with a focus on meaningful life moments worthy of amplification.

We’re looking for an ambitious self-starter who understands the media landscape and how to curate meaningful content from social networks.
