ash magazine: beauty, music and pop culture

If you’re looking for an internship in music journalism, I suggest e-mailing the editorial assistant of the entertainment and/or music department about the FAQs of an internship. You should also check out magazines that are geared towards music, like www.rollingstone.com , www.vibe.com , www.blender.com and www.spin.com Here is a link to info about an internship with Rolling Stone Magazine (and its nothing like the MTV reality show, I’m from Rolling Stone) http://www.princetonreview.com/cte/profiles/internshipGenInfo.asp?internshipID=684

I also suggest you check http://www.ed2010.com/ed-campus/internships/list to check out for any music intern openings

If you’re looking for an internship in journalism, preferably beauty, here are some things you should know: you should e-mail the assistant beauty editor at a couple of your favorite magazines. Their names can be found on the masthead page ( a list of the staff members of the magazine, from editors to interns), their accounts are usually with the first letter of their first name, followed by their last name@ their company (ex. aweath@ashmaga.com) You should also contact editors at beauty websites, www.glam.com, www.ambermag.com and www.allure.com . And check out, http://www.ed2010.com/ed-campus/internships/list, there are dozens of internship listings specifically for the beauty industry. Currently, on ed2010, Beauty Launch Pad, a beauty magazine based in Boston, is looking for summer interns, check out their website at www.beautylaunchpad.com

I noticed the other day that someone typed “Journalism Internships” and found my blog. If you’re looking to intern in magazines and/or newspapers, i suggest that you e-mail the editorial assistant and ask them any questions you have about internships. I love the website, www.ed2010.com , it has so many internship postings to chose from, they receive about 10 to 20 every week (definetley sign up for their newsletter too!). I also suggest going on their website. This can go for any type of print/web journalism (from blogs, to newspapers to magazines). I also suggest joining an organization that specifically for careers in journalism. I am apart of New York Women In Communications Inc., an organization for women in the NY-NJ-PA-CT area (of all ages, from students to professionals) who all aspire to either be or already have a career in the field of communications (i.e. public relations, books,Internet media, publishing,etc.). Its a great place to network and learn about whatever career in communications you’re interested in, while making friends in the process. Check out their website to see for your self, www.nywici.org

Right now I’m applying for internships, so for all the magazine editors and interns or people who know people in the magazine industry, please read this and consider me as an intern for your magazine.

1. Writing has always been a great past-time for me

2. I have great journalism experience, while working for the campus newspaper and being a stringer for CosmoGIRL!

3. My plan is to help young women’s self-esteem and self image problems thought magazines, since they already have a big impact on their lives now.

4. I plan to fill a void that’s missing in most magazines: diversity (in ethnicity,weight,culture,etc.)

5. It involves my two passions (writing and magazines) which i both love!

6. I wrote a paper about it in the 6th grade, as a career I would want to have when I was older

7. Its brought out a more open side, in terms of voicing my opinion, since I’m a shy person

8. I read magazines inside and out, I know the different messages they want to portray, and the business aspect of it as well

9. Movies involving magazine journalism ,like How to loose a guy in 10 days and 13 going on 30, are my favorites to watch

10. I live and breathe magazines, I’m the “real girl”, I’ve been into magazines since my first issue of Disney Adventures,i’ll give magazines their opinion from a readers perspective. I’m also a well rounded person, polite, courteous and a hard-worker.
