(6 month internship paid at National Minimum Wage)
WIRED has two editorial internship vacancies. These fixed-term, six-month, paid internships are a rare and valuable opportunity to participate in both magazine and online journalism, contributing to all aspects of WIRED’s broad remit.
The intern will work in WIRED’s London office and be tasked with contributing stories for print and online. Previous WIRED interns have gone on to attain full-time positions at CNN, New Scientist, New Statesman, The Telegraph, The Independent and VICE.
Interns are expected to generate ideas for all of WIRED’s sections, pitching, reporting and writing stories as required, researching and fact-checking, liaising with contributors and performing other tasks across the publication’s digital, print and live platforms.
We are looking for energetic, driven individuals who are committed to journalism as a career. Candidates must demonstrate a close familiarity with the magazine and website, and understand its particular editorial and design requirements. A passion for technology, science and culture is an absolute must. Experience of reporting and writing for a print or online publication is, naturally, preferable.
Please note, WIRED is hiring two editorial interns – one starting in late March and one in late April. The roles are otherwise identical.
