Internships with Zeek

Zeek: A Jewish Journal of Thought and Culture (www.zeek.net) is seeking two capable interns to work part-time on the magazine’s development, editorial, sales, marketing, and distribution efforts, and one intern to work with Zeek’s art department. These are three excellent opportunities for college students or post-college individuals seeking experience, connections, and practice in the world of journalism, Jewish professional life, or the New York arts scene.

Zeek is an independent Jewish publication, produced by a small team of editors. We are unorthodox, feisty, progressive, and literate. We’re fun, smart, connected — and with us, you will learn how small magazines are really put together.

General Interns will work directly Zeek’s publisher, editors and authors, gaining valuable editorial skills and the opportunity to create bylined content for the magazine. Tasks will include development work, co-editing articles, grant research, author R&D, expanding Zeek’s distribution network, liaising with organizations for marketing and sales purposes, research, and helping the editors and publisher with the daily management of the magazine. All internships combine editorial and business/development work.

The Art Intern will work directly with Zeek’s art staff, curating exhibitions, finding and contacting new artists, maintaining Zeek’s artists network database, and working with Zeek’s partner organizations in the Jewish art world. Opportunities will also include bylined reviews of art exhibitions.

Interns must commit at least 4 hours per week to the internship. Credit is available through your school, if you are a student, and your school allows. New York location is preferred, but not essential. If you’re in New York, you’ll work with us more directly, including at our office. Successful candidates will possess outstanding verbal skills, and will be intelligent, creative and self-motivated. At this time, the internship is unpaid, but it may lead to a paid editorial position, and we are happy to provide letters of recommendation and advocacy for you in your career. Do this for what you learn, for the connections you make, and for the inside look at what running an independent journal is actually like. Admission is rolling. Read us online, and then send resumes and queries (email only) to zeek[at]zeek.net.
