Internship: Editorial Coordinator at Premier Travel Media
About:
This is an exciting opportunity that could be a great fit for those interested in pursuing a career in publishing. We’re currently seeking interns eager to gain experience in media and publishing, offering them the chance to work with both print and digital platforms, focusing on writing and content development.
Premier Travel Media is a leading publisher serving the leisure travel market, producing content on U.S. and international destinations across print publications, websites, newsletters, and social media. Our office is in Willowbrook, Illinois (45 minutes from downtown Chicago), and we also offer remote internships.
Interns will have the chance to build their writing portfolios, receive expert training, and contribute to articles, research, and content creation. We’re looking for dedicated students in Journalism, Public Relations, English, Marketing, or Business, particularly those with travel experience. Interns typically work 15-20 hours a week (DePaul students would work 10 hours per week for credit) during the quarter/semester, and the potential for freelance opportunities or employment upon successful completion.
Key Requirements:
- Strong writing and research skills
- Social media and SEO knowledge
- Attention to detail and the ability to meet deadlines
- Interviewing experience is a plus
Former interns have gone on to work in our office in various capacities with many becoming successful writers in the industry. Interested students should send a resume and 2-3 writing samples or graded non-fiction pieces (minimum 5 pages) here. This is a great opportunity for students to gain professional experience and enhance their portfolios.
I also want to mention that this opportunity is open to multiple students and is also throughout the year, so we can have students start now or in the summer or spring. We have three editors that students can work under with our publications focusing on film, sports, student, and vacation tourism. It’s a great opportunity for anyone interested in writing for a publication or who loves traveling. We are excited to see who applies.
