Computer Shopper (www.computershopper.com), a leading online guide to PC and consumer tech, is looking for an Editorial Intern for Fall 2014. We’re based in mid-Manhattan and have a 35-year legacy (first in print, now exclusively online) of providing deep buying advice and detailed reviews of the latest computer and consumer technology products.

The right candidate will also have the opportunity to accumulate digital clips by writing product reviews and contributing to feature stories on ComputerShopper.com. Previous interns have moved ahead to become freelance tech writers, and many have landed jobs in digital journalism as a direct result of the skills they acquired with us.

Who we’re looking for

Social media super-users

Web obsessives
Check Reddit before you read the Washington Post (but read both) and find viral videos before they’re on Gawker.

News junkies
If can’t tell us something about what’s going on in Egypt and don’t have a favorite for Best Picture, this gig probably isn’t for you.

Visual thinkers
We tell stories visually. Have a great eye for compelling video, a love of interesting graphics and a knack for choosing the best image to convey meaning.

Hilarious creatives, glint-eyed geniuses and undercover hipsters
If you bound in here bursting with big and weird ideas for how to rethink the news, lots of energy and a great attitude, you’ll fit right in.

Interns should have experience in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere.
