Working on the front lines seems to be the ideal for an internship. You want to get immersed in the industry that you hope to be working in after you graduate. For instance, if you’re studying public relations and want to work in public relations, then it seems like a good idea to get an internship doing public relations. There’s another option that can give you exposure to almost any industry, but it doesn’t include every day work in the field. You can intern with a trade publication that covers your industry of interest. Take PRWeek, for example. They’re currently looking for a Fall intern. The internship won’t put you on the front lines at a PR agency, but it will provide an immersion in the PR industry that you probably won’t get anywhere else.
It may be getting late to be looking for Fall internships, but there are still some great options out there. PRWeek is currently looking for a Fall Editorial Intern. We first heard about this on Twitter, where PRWeek’s staff is pretty active. They’re looking for someone who can help them post stories on PRWeek.com, write news briefs, and assist with daily web “featurettes.” They’ll also be interested in any news or feature story ideas that their intern pitches. This is the first that we’ve seen of internships with PRWeek (can’t find any old listings), but it sounds like a great place to learn about public relations and to make a name for yourself in the industry. The internship is located in PRWeek’s New York, NY office and is unpaid. If you’re interested in applying, you can send a cover letter and resume to Alexandra.Bruell@prweek.com.
