Production Internship

WW is offering one production internship for Summer 2024. The production intern will support the Art Director and Production Designer in our art department.

Internships require a commitment of 12 hours per week (hours/times are flexible).

Applicants must be proficient in InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop. Please email a resume and portfolio to Art Director, Whitney McPhie with the subject line “Summer Production Internship.”

The culture internship requires a time commitment of 20 hours a week. To apply, send your resume and three clips (or writing samples) to Culture Editor Robin Bacior.

News Reporting Internships, Summer 2024 is Full

WW offers three-month news internships each summer. The news internships require a time commitment of 20 hours a week. In the belief that experience is the best teacher, the internship provides opportunities to write for both wweek.com and the print edition. Our Summer 2024 Internships are full, but we welcome applications anytime. Who knows, maybe we’ll open a fall internship program. To apply, send your resume and three news clips (or writing samples) to News Editor Aaron Mesh.

Become a WW contributor

We are always seeking new contributors, especially for our arts and culture sections and ever more especially if you have a strong voice and a fresh perspective.

Previews and reviews need to be well-informed and full of vivid details. We are looking for writers who are deeply interested in their subject, willing to the necessary research and aren't afraid to give strong opinions. We are not interested in scenesters who want to write about their friends' projects—there are other publications in town that would be thrilled to have you.

If you think you’re a fit, introduce yourself in an email to Arts and Culture Editor Robin Bacior with samples of your work.
