You will work closely with other reporters and editors to deliver prompt, accurate reporting of breaking entertainment-industry news, celebrity and Hollywood-related legal proceedings and, occasionally, earnings.

Experience with and interest in data analysis and data-driven projects is encouraged.

We are looking for an intern eager to learn about the businesses of entertainment and talent. The ideal candidate will bring fresh perspectives to our coverage of streaming's continued disruption of legacy media and how social media is impacting young audiences' taste and habits.

You should be a self-starter who understands the needs of our audience across multiple platforms and is able to work independently under deadline pressure. Dedication to high journalism standards and excellent writing and reporting skills are required. A demonstrated interest in business reporting is a plus, though prior business/finance reporting experience is not required.

You should have completed at least one prior reporting internship with another professional media organization or published exceptional work with a campus news outlet or as a freelancer.
