We're looking for editorial interns. What you will do is participate in the planning, research and writing of articles, blog posts and all the other things that go into both the Beijinger magazine and website. Better yet, if you have a particular niche or obsession – be it food, nightlife, shopping or sports – we can arrange it so that you get to write as much as possible about the things you care the most about.

Who you are

Living in Beijing and excited to be here
Experienced in writing but eager to learn more
Hungry for knowledge
Thirsty for self-improvement
Able to accept constructive feedback
Versatile and quick to learn
Responsible and hard-working

What you'll get out of it

Magazine and web bylines; clips for your portfolio
Professional coaching in writing and editing
Daily practice in pitching stories
A network of contacts in Beijing, especially in your field of interest
Hands-on knowledge of the production cycle of a monthly magazine and a dynamic daily blog
Work experience for your CV
References and/or a letter of recommendation

What you will do

Pitch and write your own articles for the Beijinger magazine and TheBeijinger.com
Conduct research for (and contribute reporting to) articles by other staff writers and editors
Help out with the moderation of our website
Contribute to and manage independent projects for the Beijinger brand's development
Attend press conferences and events
