The Shenandoah Valley Music Festival is a concert presenter in the Shenandoah Valley. Every summer people from all over come to Orkney Springs, Virginia, to enjoy symphonic pops and classics, country, bluegrass, big band and folk concerts and ice cream socials on the grounds of the historic Orkney Springs Hotel. The Festival needs a few good interns! This is no “coffee making” or “paper pushing” gig. You will be working together with industry professionals and regional and national artists and road crews to create the finest concert experience possible. The Festival is offering a stipend for its summer interns. The amount depends on
experience and the length of the time commitment.

Project Description
1. Social Networking & Website: Create, expand and maintain Festival’s social networking and blog sites, including MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Blogger and Twitter.

General desk work including public information, box office, etc. The Festival tries to avoid giving too much “busy work” (although in a small office we all have some,) and instead hopes to give as much “hands on” experience as possible. The candidate for an internship should have strong organizational skills, be well able to meet the public and have the ability to work independently on some projects.

The Festival Office is located in Woodstock and the concert venue is Orkney Springs. The internship duties will be split between the two.

Richmond BizSense, an online magazine covering business news in Central Virginia, is looking for a talented and motivated reporter. The position is ideal for a recent college graduate who studied journalism, English or business.

About the internship:
The 10-week, unpaid internship is designed for rising juniors, seniors or recent graduates with substantial journalism experience. Special preference will be given to applicants who have edited college newspapers. A general knowledge of business, economics, finance or investing is helpful but not required. Excellent writing skills are required. Interns will work side-by-side with the managing editor and learn how to report, write and edit stories for a savvy web audience.

Interns are treated as staff writers and expected to handle a wide range of responsibilities, including covering breaking news, developing sources and writing feature/lifestyle stories. They are also expected to pitch ideas, develop leads and edit copy from other sources as well as post breaking news directly to the web.

Routine:
A normal day begins at 8:00 a.m. with a thorough reading of the local paper, the Wall Street Journal and several online magazines. The editorial staff meets and decides what daily stories need to be covered. Then we work the phones and the street to roundup quotes and information. We meet back around 2:00 to see if anything new is coming across the wires. Might be a blurb, a few phone calls, a follow-up on a trend piece. On slow news days, we investigate small business trends or stockpile profile pieces.

Work environment:
BizSense combines the energy of a startup (because we are) with the sense of purpose that comes from knowing that the community needs well-presented and insightful business news coverage. Richmond is a fantastic place to report, with everything from startups to Fortune 500 companies. We’re energized about our company and enjoy covering a thriving business community. We take special pleasure in scooping the local daily, the Times-Dispatch.

Compensation: Interns will be paid $300 per week. Recent graduates may be considered for employment upon completion of the internship.

To apply, send resume, 5 clips exhibiting a range of stories, the names and contact information for three references (at least 2 must be journalism-related) and cover letter to jobs@richmondbizsense.com.
