Esquire interns work closely with our staff and gain direct reporting and editorial experience while working five days a week in the magazine’s fast-paced offices. The job is research-intensive: Print interns conduct all the reporting for the monthly sex column and take on individual assignments as directed by staff members. Independent initiative and the ability to manage multiple tasks within tight deadlines are required. Fetching coffee for the boss is not. The print internship is full-time (10 a.m – 6 p.m.) and pays an hourly wage, with no overtime or participation in Hearst benefits.

Who we’re looking for: Candidates must have completed their third year of college. Most former interns have had some experience in journalism before applying, but we encourage all students and recent graduates with a serious interest in magazines and a desire to learn to apply. We care more about your ambition and skill than your field of study.

U.S. work authorization is required.

There are three internship cycles.

Fall: September 1 – December 31
Spring: January 1 – May 31
Summer: June 1 – August 31

Some flexibility is possible to accommodate holidays and school schedules.

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
We create for the social web, and we need a team that lives on it. Tweet, Snap, Tumble – and know what makes a piece of content shareable online.

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.

The internship also involves assisting AGU public information staff with a range of other activities, which can include using and exploring social media, creating videos or other multimedia content, and organizing science communication workshops and other events for scientists.
