Job Description
Role Overview
This internship places you at the intersection of journalism and digital engagement within a fast‑paced editorial department. Day‑to‑day you’ll craft platform‑specific posts that amplify our news stories, interact with online audiences, and support the editorial team in maintaining a consistent brand voice across social channels. Your work matters because it helps a major media outlet reach readers where they already spend their time, driving traffic and building community around reliable reporting.
Key Responsibilities
- Write and schedule compelling social media copy for breaking news, features, and enterprise pieces.
- Collaborate with editors to align social promotion with editorial calendars and breaking news deadlines.
- Monitor social channels for trending topics and audience engagement, flagging relevant stories to the editorial team.
- Assist in creating multimedia content (short videos, graphics, polls) tailored to each platform’s best practices.
- Track and report basic performance metrics (reach, engagement, click‑through) to inform future content strategies.
- Help manage community interactions by responding to comments and messages in a timely, professional manner.
- Proofread and edit article drafts to ensure clarity, accuracy, and adherence to the publication’s style guide.
- Support the editorial team with research, fact‑checking, and ad‑hoc writing tasks as needed.
Requirements & Qualifications
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Journalism, Communications, or a directly related field.
- Demonstrated ability to write clean, engaging articles and social copy for diverse audiences.
- Familiarity with major social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) and their content best practices.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to work under tight deadlines in a newsroom environment.
- Basic understanding of editorial workflow and news judgement.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office or Google Workspace; experience with social media management tools is a plus.
- Must be self‑motivated, curious, and eager to learn from experienced journalists and editors.
