DINING INTERN
Atlanta Magazine
Application Deadline: Dec. 15
Atlanta Magazine is looking for college juniors and seniors passionate about Atlanta’s
dining scene. This highly-competitive internship is an exceptional opportunity to explore
this city’s culinary roots and report on local restaurants, events, and chefs. In addition, the
student must receive credit for the internship (no exceptions).
Starting in early January and through Spring 2014, the dining intern will:
• Write and report stories for the magazine’s food blog, Covered Dish
• Pitch his or her own stories for the blog
• Produce Atlanta Magazine’s weekly dining and recipe newsletters
• Take part in editorial planning meetings
The successful candidate will be intellectually curious, self-directed, and have:
• Publishing experience — student media and/or a previous internship
• Strong reporting and research skills
• The ability to write clear, entertaining, and accurate prose
• The ability to generate fresh story ideas
• A proven ability to meet deadlines and be punctual
• Knowledge of how to use a stylebook (we use Chicago)
• A positive attitude that works well with others
• Basic photography skills (video/audio production experience is a big plus, but not
required)
This internship requires a minimum time commitment of 12-15 hours per week. This is an
unpaid internship (we provide a modest parking/MARTA stipend). Access to a car for
reporting is a plus, but not required.
Application Procedure
Please email:
• A cover letter
• A resume
• Two letters of recommendation
• PDFs of three published writing samples (food journalism, preferred.)
• If available, any blogs or portfolio website to showcase additional skills/works
