Daily Dot Trending Intern

2 weeks ago

Austin, United States Fragment Media Group Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionThe Daily Dot is the web’s most comprehensive source for original internet news and is among the sharpest, most relevant media companies in the world. We tell the story of the internet each day with uninhibited reporting on the people, apps, memes, and movements that are shaping the digital world.  

Summary
The Daily Dot seeks candidates who are passionate about internet trends, social media, entertainment, and consumer culture to apply for our Trending internship. Our Trending team focuses on how the lives and discussions of everyday Americans manifest online—whether it’s McDonald’s hacks, labor issues, or niche TikTok drama. Your position as a Trending intern will primarily focus on quickly reported blogs, giving you a unique experience in the fast-paced world of digital journalism. Alongside speedy scoops, interns will focus on a more long-form reporting project over the summer to dig further into their daily beats. Ideal candidates will have strong reporting and writing skills, a passion for internet culture, and an eye for emerging stories. Most important is a desire to produce stories no one else is reporting on.

Roles and Responsibilities
  • Write and report fast-paced daily blogs
  • Work with Daily Dot editors to pitch internet culture scoops not covered by other publications
  • Pitch, report, and write a long-form story package throughout the internship
  • Adhere to journalistic standards for fact-checking, accuracy, and fairness
Interested? Here’s what we’re looking for:
  • You have at least two semesters of college or high-school-level newsroom experience 
  • You meet deadlines 
  • You have experience making contacts and securing interviews
  • You are skilled in multitasking and prioritizing in a rapidly changing environment
  • You are comfortable in a small, intense, and fast environment 
  • You understand and know the Daily Dot brand, internet culture, online communities, and current internet trends
  • Experience working as part of a virtual team is a plus
**Please link to at least two published writing samples in your cover letter.**

This is a paid ($20/hr), fully remote, 10-hour-per-week commitment for the duration of the summer.

Applications for Summer 2024 are due by May 13, 2024. This internship may also be used toward college credit, depending on your program (we're happy to help work with you to apply this credit to your program).

The Daily Dot recognizes the value of the broad and rich variety of experiences, ideas, and skills our team members bring to the business. Beyond compliance with government regulations, we foster diversity by encouraging an environment that taps the full potential of each employee consistent with the Daily Dot’s high standards of performance. We believe that there is an ongoing benefit to our families, employees, and community when the Daily Dot supports a diverse workforce.

We are committed to equal opportunity in all of our employment practices to all qualified employees and applicants without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, marital status, military status, sexual orientation, genetic information, gender identity/transgender status, or veteran status.
