Ms. Social Media Internship
Social media interns will work closely with our digital editor to craft and implement strategies for social media management, digital promotions and online community-building projects—and have the opportunity to share some of the print magazine production responsibilities described above and contribute to the Ms. website. This is a great, hands-on opportunity to learn how to leverage social media to create social change and gain insight into how social media shapes digital publishing—as well as a chance to grow your own social media bonafides. Applicants should be well versed in using a variety of social media platforms and work well under pressure and at a fast pace.
This internship is unpaid, but eligible for academic or course credit if approved by your educational institution.
