INTERNSHIPS

Nebraska's nonprofit music media company is looking for crack-shot, enterprising, self-starting, multimedia content-producing interns. We aim to hire at least two multimedia interns, two editorial interns and one writing workhorse starting in August. We also have opportunities for editing, broadcasting and design interns should the right candidate apply.

Your computer will be your workplace, and you will help us cover, promote and document the state's music culture for 15-20 hours/week. Journalism, marketing or English majors are preferred, though others are accepted if they possess the following skills and attributes:

          — Ability to produce quick, accurate copy or designed materials on deadline that, critically, do not bore;
          — Understanding of social media and a proven ability to use it effectively;
          — Diverse multimedia abilities (video, photo, audio, social);
          — A knack for storytelling;
          — Ability to communicate effectively and stay on task remotely;
          — Desire to grow professionally and socially;
          — Ability to generate engaging, compelling story ideas;
          — Love of music (especially local).

The chosen candidate(s) will get:

          — Tough edits that will make them stronger, more-skilled and -polished journalists;
          — A portfolio full of dynamic multimedia clips;
          — An opportunity to manage one of HN's social media channels;
          — A flexible, production-focused schedule;
          — The chance to be in the team and on the ground floor of a young, growing nonprofit;
          — Free entrance into all HN-sponsored shows, and other concerts when possible.
