About a month ago we looked at internships with Niche Media, a company that “produce must-read, luxurious magazines that mirror the sensibilities and spirits of the unique, vibrant communities to which they cater.” Today we’re going to look at Greenspun Media Group, a company that takes a similar approach to the Las Vegas market and that happens to be a strategic partner of Niche Media. Greenspun Media’s properties include In Business Las Vegas, RalstonFlash, Las Vegas Weekly, Home News, Las Vegas Home & Design, Las Vegas Magazine, Vegas2Go Vegas Magazine, Style: The Magazine of the Venetian and Palazzo Resorts, Wynn, and Wynn Macau, while Greenspun Interactive’s properties include LasVegasSun.com, LasVegasWeekly.com, VegasDeluxe.com, RecruitingNevada.com, and 702.tv. It’s all about hitting niche markets with targeted media (and advertising, of course), and when it comes to Vegas, Greenspun Media Group is the clear leader.
I think that most of us probably associate Las Vegas with irresponsible behavior, but landing a sweet internship is about as far from irresponsible as you can get. So, let’s talk about that. Greenspun’s office are actually in Henderson, NV (you’d never get any work done if you were on the strip), and they’re looking for quite a few interns this Summer. You can find their formal internship postings here; however, I came across a much more compelling description of their internships on a Greenspun employee’s blog. He goes into great detail about the internships, so you need to check it out. The basic details are that they’re looking for journalism students who are interested in “local news and business, entertainment (yes, that means The Strip, the celebrity side of Las Vegas and our city’s crazy club scene), sports and video.” They’re also looking for interns in Videography, Software Development, and Flash/Motion Graphics. The internships are paid, and run from 3 to 9 months. You can apply by contacting Rob Curley (the aforementioned blogger) through his contact form.
