Ms. Editorial and Social Media Internship

The Ms. internship* is designed to provide real-word feminist journalism experience to aspiring writers, social media managers, activists and change-makers.  

As such, Ms. interns will perform tasks to assist Ms. in both its editorial and social media production. This means working closely with editors on print magazine and digital content production—including writing, editing and fact-checking for Ms. online; assisting in social media coordination and content creation; aiding in the production of upcoming issues of the print magazine; assisting Ms. scholars and professors who plan to use Ms. content in their classrooms; and working with our sister organization, Feminist Majority Foundation, on activist and organizing campaigns.

This is a great, hands-on opportunity to learn how non-profit, feminist journalism operates; make connections in the feminist news space; practice how to pitch an article, complete research, interview subjects, copy edit your own and other writers’ work, and submit a close-to-final draft to an editor; learn how to leverage social media to create social change; gain insight into how social media shapes digital publishing; build a portfolio as a writer; and grow your own social media bonafides.


To apply, e-mail internships@msmagazine.com with the following:
  • A cover letter and resume. Please include a GPA on your resume and/or attach an official or unofficial transcript.
  • Two references and/or letters of recommendation. Letters may be submitted separately to the same email address.
  • At least two journalistic/non-academic writing samples. Writing samples should not exceed 2,000 words. 
  • Links to your social media portfolio. Send us pages you’ve managed or contributed to, including personal accounts. 
  • Three pitches you feel would be a good fit for Ms.
  • Three social media suggestions for Ms. These could include a new idea or advice on improving something we already do on social media.

*Because this is an unpaid internship, students are encouraged to consult with your faculty advisor to determine if this opportunity is eligible for academic credit.
