What is a magazine internship?

A magazine internship is a temporary position, often held by students or recent graduates, where individuals gain hands-on experience working for a magazine publication. Interns typically assist with tasks such as researching stories, fact-checking, writing articles, editing content, and supporting editorial staff. The internship provides valuable insight into the magazine industry, helps build a professional network, and can be a stepping stone to a career in journalism or publishing.

What types of projects or assignments can I expect to work on during a magazine internship?

As a magazine intern, you can expect to be involved in a variety of projects such as researching stories, fact-checking articles, assisting with photo shoots, and helping with editorial planning. Interns often contribute to brainstorming sessions, draft short pieces or captions, and support the editorial team with administrative tasks. You'll gain hands-on experience in the fast-paced environment of magazine publishing, and your specific responsibilities may vary depending on the size and focus of the publication. Collaboration with writers, editors, designers, and sometimes the marketing team is common, offering valuable exposure to the magazine production process.

What is the difference between Magazine Internship vs Editorial Assistant?

AspectMagazine Internship
Required CredentialsTypically students or recent graduates; no formal certification needed
Work EnvironmentFast-paced, creative, and collaborative magazine offices or media companies
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by magazines, publishing houses, and media outlets for entry-level roles

Magazine internships are primarily designed for students or recent graduates seeking initial exposure to the publishing industry. They focus on learning the basics of magazine production, writing, and editing. Editorial assistants, on the other hand, are usually full-time employees with more responsibilities, including content editing, fact-checking, and coordinating publication processes. While both roles involve working within magazine publishing, internships are temporary learning positions, whereas editorial assistants are ongoing staff roles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Magazine Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Magazine Intern, you need strong writing, research, and editing skills, often supported by coursework or experience in journalism or communications. Familiarity with content management systems, social media platforms, and basic photo editing software is typically expected. Initiative, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively help interns stand out in a fast-paced editorial environment. These skills are crucial for producing quality content, meeting tight deadlines, and contributing positively to the magazine's team and goals.

Job description

Milwaukee Magazine has Editorial Internship positions available for FALL 2026!

We seek journalists with a commitment to accuracy and detail as well as a knack for telling Milwaukee's stories to our 200,000-plus readers. You'll be doing plenty of fact-checking. You'll balance that with some writing for our print editions and our website, milwaukeemag.com. You'll also be involved in larger research projects. You'll sit in on - and participate in - brainstorming sessions that help decide the direction of the magazine's editorial content. And the only coffee you'll get is your own. This is a professional role.

We take pride when former interns, having honed and expanded their skill set here, move on to full-time positions at newspapers, magazines or other communication jobs. In many cases, they've returned to our offices for full-time jobs or become regular freelance contributors.

Please submit a cover letter along with your resume explaining what sets you apart from the field, along with a resume and three writing clips. Send pieces that display your style and versatility.

Applications will be accepted until AUGUST 1, 2026, finalists will be contacted for an interview. No phone calls please.

Qualifications

Interns will work 15-20 hours a week.  The internship is currently a hybrid schedule. You should have experience working in a journalistic environment, be it a professional or a student publication. You should never assume the facts are correct and be comfortable in verifying them. You should know AP Style, and if you're not familiar with our magazine, you should rectify that soon. 

* The part-time unpaid position carries a college credit requirement, so applicants MUST be able to receive college course credit for the internship.
