Description:

Goddess Connections is looking for smart, diligent and enthusiastic Journalism Interns for 2014 to work on our online publications for women. Journalism interns will work in a variety of areas throughout the editorial department, including features, health, women in business, gender issues, dating, relationships, parenting, fashion, beauty, books, music, food, technology, politics, money and markets.

An established online controversial womens magazine publisher located in the media capital of Toronto, Canada is seeking bright journalism students to work in-house (with virtual access) to prepare features and content for our online platforms.

We look for interns with strong reporting, interviewing and writing skills. The best are quick studies who can work independently, but know when to ask questions. It helps to be detail oriented and dogged about accuracy. On a daily basis, interns will also be involved in providing research and reporting for features, gathering data for graphics and fact-checking, as well as actively participating in planning and story pitch meetings. Finally adhereing to an editorial calendar and meeting deadlines is paramount to success in the internship.

Previous business, health / fitness, relationships, beauty / fashion reporting experience is not a requirement, but interest in womens issues, the female perspective and content for women is.
