Company Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"ASME<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The American Society of Magazine Editors <\/a>is the principal organization for magazine journalists in the United States. The members of ASME include the editorial leaders of most major consumer and business magazines published in print and on digital platforms. Founded in 1963, ASME works to defend the First Amendment, protect editorial independence and support the development of journalism. ASME sponsors the Ellie Awards in association with the Columbia Journalism School and publishes the ASME Guidelines for Editors and Publishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Job Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For over 50 years, the American Society of Magazine Editors has sponsored the Magazine Internship Program\u00a0<\/a>\u2014 a ten-week program for rising college seniors at magazines in New York and Washington. Since the program was founded in 1967, 2,000 college students have worked as ASME interns. Nearly 500 have gone on to successful careers in print and electronic journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 10 percent of all Magazine Internship Program applicants are accepted. ASME interns have distinguished academic records and usually have extensive experience working on city and regional magazines or websites as well as on college newspapers and magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASME interns participate in a two-day orientation program and learn\u00a0the fundamentals of reporting, fact-checking and copy editing. Over the course of the summer, ASME interns attend special events in\u00a0New York and Washington and meet regularly with top editors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASME interns report, edit, fact-check and copy-edit for print and online publications. They may sometimes interview celebrities, attend press conferences and work the red carpet\u2014but most of the summer they do the un-glam but essential work of magazine journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Magazine Internship Program orientation begins on Wednesday, May 27, 2020, in New York. All ASME interns are expected to attend orientation, including interns assigned to magazines outside New York. Orientation concludes on Thursday, May 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASME interns begin work at their assigned magazines on Monday, June 1; the Magazine Internship Program concludes on Friday, August 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASME interns are temporary employees of the magazine they are assigned to. ASME interns are paid minimum wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASME interns are responsible for their own travel, housing, meals and personal expenses. ASME arranges group housing at New York University dormitories. ASME also provides housing information for students assigned to magazines in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing costs for the length of the Magazine Internship Program are approximately $4,000 at New York University (costs are comparable in Washington). A $500 deposit is required when housing is reserved for the summer; payment must be made in full before the scheduled move-in date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
