About the Internship
For over 50 years, the American Society of Magazine Editors has sponsored the Magazine Internship Program—a ten-week program for rising college seniors at magazines in New York and Washington. Since the program was founded in 1967, 2,000 college students have worked as ASME interns. Nearly 500 have gone on to successful careers in print and electronic journalism.
To be considered, you must have distinguished academic records and extensive experience working on city and regional magazines, as well as college publications.
Program Schedule and Responsibilities
Accepted candidates will participate in a two-day orientation program and learn the fundamentals of reporting, fact-checking, and copy editing. Over the course of the summer, you will attend special events in New York and Washington and meet regularly with top editors.
You will report, edit, fact-check, and copy-edit for print and online publications. You may sometimes interview celebrities, attend press conferences and work the red carpet—but most of the summer you will do the un-glam but essential work of magazine journalism.
