The Dish is seeking an editorial intern to help with ransacking the web for smart nuggets, working on larger projects, and guest-blogging when yours truly takes a vacation. The paid internship will be full time, includes benefits and is for a six-month duration. The position is based in New York City. Since the Dish doesn’t have an office, most of the work will be done from home, but the staff meets regularly for lunch and coffee meetings. We’ve decided to cut down to one intern – to keep our budget firmly under control. Which means the one individual really does have to be special.
We are hoping to hire within the next month or so. Start dates are semi-flexible. We’re looking for extremely hardworking self-starters, web-obsessives and Dishheads, who already understand what we do here. We also prefer individuals who can challenge me and my assumptions, find stuff online that we might have missed, and shape the Dish with his or her own personal passions. I want to emphasize that this is an intense job for the intensely motivated. It’s also a pretty unbeatable opportunity to learn what online journalism can be. And a sense of humor is an asset.
To apply, please e-mail a (max 500-word) cover letter explaining why you are a good fit for the Dish and a resumé to apply@andrewsullivan.com. Put “Dishtern” in the subject line. The cut off for applications is Monday, May 20.
