Hollywood.com 2011 Fall Intern (SoHo)

Hey there! Are you spending the fall in NYC? Do you love movies so much that the "Muppets" trailer gave you that warm fuzzy feeling inside? Are you such a huge TV buff that you've already read all of the "Game of Thrones" novels in anticipation for Season 2? Do you like keeping up with celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston and Lindsay Lohan? Does helping one of the internet's leading entertainment websites sound like something you might be interested in?

If so, Hollywood.com is looking for editorial interns for Fall 2011--and it could be you.

How you'll spend your days. . .
• Participating in editorial meetings and generating creative story ideas for Hollywood.com
• Researching and finding news items to cover
• Transcribing interviews and other audio files
• Writing news stories, TV recaps and possibly a few reviews for the site

The ideal candidate is. . .
• Passionate about movies, television or entertainment in general
• A strong writer with excellent attention to detail
• A fast learner who follows directions and is dedicated to getting the job done
• Web-savvy and interested in new media--you know that Foursquare isn't just a schoolyard game
• Solidly in command of English grammar and proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook)
• Available to work in our SoHo office at least two days a week, but ideally three or more
• Willing to accompany/support staff on field events like red-carpets, conventions, etc.
• At peace with making slightly more than minimum wage


It would also be great if you. . .
• Know some HTML
• Have previous experience in journalism or web publishing (the only time in your life when running your own Tumblr may count for something)
• Are enrolled at an accredited college or university
• Have some knowledge of how showbiz really works, and are interested in exploring the ins-and-outs of the industry
• Own a Blu-ray player, have cable TV and some access to premium channels

FYI:
• Must be 18 years or older
• Hollywood.com is an Equal Opportunity Employer

If this all sounds fine and dandy to you, hit us up by sending your resume and cover letter (yes, we read them, so they should be interesting and enlightening) to editor@hollywood.com with "NYC FALL INTERN" in the subject line. DO NOT reply to the email address in the "reply to" section above. Don't send us any attachments, either--just copy and paste your cover letter and resume into the body of the email. Good luck and may the force be with you!
Thanks
