This paid contributor position with a San Francisco based media start-up. It will require a good deal of writing, quick analysis of a wide variety of issues and topics, online outreach and feedback from the public, and a deep appreciation and balanced communication of diverse points of view, especially when they conflict with your own bias and opinion.

Educational components

Understanding bias as well as the impact of modern technology on news, media and society is central to this internship. The highest ideals of “un-biased” journalism will be discussed and practiced. Articles and books will be recommended for discussion and analysis. The business and activities required in today’s successful online news businesses, including using social media and what it means to be “un-biased” (we prefer “multi-biased” since everything is biased in some way) will also be discussed and practiced. Intern will participate in various activities designed to develop a better understanding and practice of engaging and appreciating multiple-perspectives and people with a diverse set of views and backgrounds.
