Editorial Interns<\/h4>\n

Seattle Met<\/em>\u00a0is seeking smart and resourceful interns for our editorial department, located in Seattle, Washington.\u00a0We are now accepting applications for our fall internships<\/strong>\u00a0in all beats, or areas of concentration: News, Food and Drink, the Arts, Style, Wellness, and Travel.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re seeking witty writers who shudder at fluffy press release language and bring verve and journalistic rigor to a story about a city council race, or a list of new happy hours. Interns who enjoy finding levity in all things wonky, or tackling seemingly lighthearted topics with intelligence and humor will do especially well here. Yes, these internships involve a\u00a0lot of fact-checking, but our editors are eager to help talented young writers hone their craft (and get some great clips).<\/p>\n

Our editorial interns have gone on to work for\u00a0Vanity Fair<\/em>,\u00a0Playboy<\/em>, Eater Seattle, Chef Steps,\u00a0Time<\/em>,\u00a0The Nation<\/em>,\u00a0Vice<\/em>,\u00a0Crosscut,<\/em>\u00a0Seattle Weekly, The Seattle Times, Bloomberg<\/em>, and\u00a0The Stranger<\/em>. Past interns have also joined\u00a0Seattle Met<\/em>\u00a0and other publications under SagaCity Media.<\/address>\n

The internship is paid and lasts six months; we ask for a commitment of 20 hours a week with flexible scheduling.<\/p>\n
