Required skills:

We're looking for smart, enthusiastic students with a passion for local journalism. You should be a self-starter, able to learn quickly and work independently.

* Strong organizational, time management, and interpersonal skills

Desired skills:
* Passionate about the web, social networking, and of course community journalism

* Able to quickly grasp the interests, rhythms and identity of a community

* Thrive in a fast-paced environment and have a strong entrepreneurial spirit and drive

* Experience editing video, producing a Web site and/or excellent photography skills

Unique requirements:

* Must be a flexible, independent, self-starter – you’ll work from home, the coffee shop, your car, the high school football game

* Must own, or have access to a car

* Ability and willingness to work various hours outside of the typical M-F and 9-5, including evenings and weekends

Education:

* Candidates must be a junior, senior or graduate student or a recent graduate (within the last six months)

Atlantic Media Company offers high achieving recent college graduates a unique opportunity to participate in the Atlantic Media Fellowship Program. The Atlantic Media Fellowship Program is a structured, paid fellowship that provides serious career exposure and training for top-tier talent committed to editorial-side careers in media.

We are currently recruiting one Fellow for a 5-month stint with TheAtlantic.com starting in February 2011 and ending in June 2011.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented and resourceful, with strong writing, editing, and interpersonal skills and an interest in magazine-style journalism. Previous experience in both print and online media is helpful, as is a passion for and familiarity with food. You should also be high-energy and enterprising, capable of not only following through with everyday tasks but also going above and beyond to brainstorm independent projects and ways to make the site even stronger. The position rewards this kind of initiative, and an especially driven Fellow will have significant opportunities to write and edit.

Responsibilities include:
- Working closely with Atlantic senior editor Corby Kummer and Food Channel producer Daniel Fromson to prepare 5+ articles per day for publication, including copy editing, formatting articles according to the Food Channel’s style guidelines, coding pages and slide shows in basic HTML, and finding and editing photos

-Promoting Food Channel articles using social media (Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon, etc.)
-Working closely with the site’s editors on assorted research projects
-Depending on the interests and abilities of the Fellow, more substantial editing of articles and opportunities to write for both the Food Channel and other parts of TheAtlantic.com

Additionally, the Atlantic Media Fellows participate in the Atlantic Media Academy, a comprehensive curriculum providing a 360-degree view of the modern media industry covering the editorial, operational, and economic sides of journalism today.
