From the Editors

March 18, 2008

We are now accepting applications for our Summer 2008 intern position. Applicants should email us a short description of why they want to intern at TMN, their complete contact information, and a résumé that’s pasted in the body of the email (don’t worry about fancy formatting). Detailed descriptions of any kind of editorial, publishing, or web-work experience are appreciated. Please also inform us of any summer plans.

Duties include whatever you imagine it takes to keep TMN chugging along: news reading, deadlines, proofreading, lots of email, going to the post office, more deadlines. Approximately 10 hours of work per week from home, Starbucks, or wherever you like. This internship is unpaid, excluding beer and good times.

Bridget, 2007-8 intern:

If you’re going to sign on for an unpaid internship, you should be so lucky to get this one. In the cozy internet family that is TMN, your work is appreciated, your projects are interesting, and your loyalties are tested under pain of death. Someday you’ll be at a party with another TMNer, and when you mention how you know each other, someone across the room will overhear and say, “Wait, I read The Morning News—I love The Morning News!” and you will feel all aglow.
Deadline: Friday, April 18, 2008 We’re no longer accepting applications for this positions—thank you to everyone who applied!

Thanks,
The Editors
