WHO
Our Summer-intern program is open to undergraduates (rising seniors and graduating seniors) and to graduates who have received their degrees in the past 12 months. Since we require our interns to work full-time, the Fall and Spring programs are open only to students who have graduated. All of our internships are designed for applicants who can work a five-day, 35-hour week. You don't have to be studying journalism, or indeed any particular subject, and you don't need your school's endorsement to apply.
WHEN
There are three terms:
Summer: June through August (application deadline is February 15)
Fall: September through December (application deadline is June 15)
Spring: January through May (application deadline is October 15)
To make internships available to as many as possible, we limit participants to one term.
HOW MUCH
Currently, we pay interns $10 per hour.
WHAT
What do EW interns do? Answer phones, make copies, send faxes-the usual entry-level stuff. In addition, we use interns to maintain our databases of forthcoming entertainment events and products, to answer reader mail, to obtain and return photographs, do red-carpet reporting, and to research forthcoming articles. We also offer occasional opportunities to report and write stories, depending on your talent and assertiveness.
HOW
To apply, simply send a cover letter, a copy of your resume, and four or five previously published clips from any newspaper or magazine articles you've produced to Annabel Bentley, Director of Research Services, Entertainment Weekly, 1675 Broadway, New York, NY 10019. As you might imagine, we prefer students with strong writing skills, as well as interest and experience in writing about entertainment.

City of New York Art Commission - Project Coordinator
I work for the Art Commission of the City of New York, NYC's design review agency, and a division of the NYC Mayor's Office. The name "Art" Commission is actually misleading, as the majority of projects the Commission reviews are works of architecture and landscape architecture.
The Project Coordinator position would require interest in and/or experience with architecture, landscape architecture and public art. A familiarity with architectural drawings would be quite helpful. This would be a good job for a recent grad interested in urban design or urban planning, specifically in New York.
If this sounds interesting to you or someone you know, email Marienna Murch at slev@cityhall.nyc.gov for a full job description.
