SportsGrid Is Seeking Fall Interns

SportsGrid is seeking fall editorial interns to help keep our sports blog machine rolling. If you’re looking to get your byline on an established sports blog, earn school credit, and do some original reporting along the way, this is the place. Plus: free Diet Coke.

The internship is based in New York (although the right candidate can work remotely). Interns would need to work a minimum of 2 days per week.

The ideal candidate:
- Is a current college or graduate student looking for hands-on writing experience at a news startup.

- Is familiar with our site, and the sports blogosphere in general.

- Has three smart, witty writing clips that mesh with our style and will blow us away. At least one clip should not be about sports.

- Possesses a clear knowledge of what works on the Internet and what doesn’t.

- Can find stories on his or her own, and can quickly turn out crisp, clean, funny blog posts.

- Has an eclectic range of pop culture interests.

- Is a Twitter addict.

The logistics:
- Our fall internship runs from September to December, with flexible start and end dates.

- Interns must be current college or graduate students who can receive academic credit for the internship; interns will be unpaid.

How to apply:
If interested, please attach ALL of the following documents to your application email to be sent to interns@sportsgrid.com:

- A resume/CV, including references.

- The three aforementioned writing samples that you think mesh well with our style (again, one of the three should not be sports related).

- A brief cover letter explaining why your experience, knowledge, and personality make you the ideal intern for our site.
