Dream of eating for a living? Learn the expert ins and outs of finding great story ideas, developing your voice and vocabulary as a professional foodie and targeting your pitches to the right markets. The class will also cover the ethical duties and responsibilities of restaurant criticism, plus the glamorous highs (free food! minor celebrity status!) and potential lows (weight gain! death threats!) of this challenging but rewarding profession.
Ed loves feisty up-and-comers willing to do whatever it takes to make it in this industry, including taking unpaid internships. That’s why he doles out his trust fund once a semester to one deserving candidate. This semester’s winner, Rheana Murray, a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, native and intern at Rolling Stone, is ready to give you all the deets on how to be the next winner.
How many internships have you had in the past, where were they, and how did they prepare you for your internship with Rolling Stone?
The ASME Awards are shaking things up this year. Instead of recognizing digital media in a few awards rolled into the general ceremony, the American Society of Magazine Editors is demonstrating a whole new respect for online journalism.
Ed’s thrilled that ASME is finally recognizing digital media as a category of its own.

.. that all of the Ed staff, including Ed himself, are full-time magazine editors? And did you further know that everything that they do for Ed (and, duh, you) they do it out of the goodness of their hearts? (Read: no pay.) OK; Just had to clear that up.
Ed is now tweeting news and jobs at twitter.com/ed2010news.
