I’ve reminded you as recently as two days ago that the magazine industry is dying. I won’t say that there’s no future there, but there might as well be none. How what’s left of the industry adapts is still up in the air, but things look dicey at best. With that said, it seems to me that gossip is bigger than ever. Although American Media, the owner of Star Magazine, wasn’t paying its bills as recently as last December, they’re still delivering content that people want to read. It’s hard to get a good read on what the tabloid business actually looks like, but Star Magazine is still kicking (which means a lot these days).
Now, I’m not into tabloids or gossip, and I’m not sure that it’s a business that most people are cut out for, but internships are all about trying new things. That’s why you might want to consider a Fall internship with Star magazine. Even if it doesn’t work out for you, it will always be a good story. Right now they’re looking for “a few motivated, energetic and celebrity-obsessed editorial interns for the fall semester.” These are unpaid positions in New York City with flexible schedules, so it might be a good way to break up your class schedule. You can find all of the details on Ed2010, and you can apply by sending a cover letter and resume to starmagazine.fallintern@gmail.com.
