The primary responsibility of interns in the Editorial Department will be to transcribe the interviews that appear in the magazine. Other duties of high importance include up-to-the-minute media research (this will include contact with publicists), updating and maintaining databases and filing systems, and critical written evaluations of current and upcoming releases in all areas of popular culture. Secondary tasks involve idea development, as well as general office and administrative work. Candidates must have strong typing, English and communication skills. Transcribing experience is a definite plus, as are knowledge of proofreader’s marks, Microsoft Word and American pop culture (film, music, art, literature and fashion).
