Richmond BizSense, a new online business magazine covering business news
in Central Virginia, is looking for a talented and experienced intern.

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 who complete the full 10-week program are eligible
for a $1,000 bonus. Recent graduates may be considered for employment
upon completion of the internship.

To apply, send resume, 10 clips exhibiting a range of stories and cover
letter to jobs@richmondbizsense.com.

Virginia Forest Watch

DVD Slideshow Developer
We are a grassroots based coalition of individuals and environmental groups organizing throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our mission is "to maintain and restore the natural ecology and biodiversity of woodlands across Virginia through education and citizen participation." We focus on both private and public forestland in two separate programs. Our public lands program monitors the two national forests in Virginia and brings people together to advocate for their protection.

A description of the project
VAFW's Virginia's Forest Heritage campaign seeks an intern to support efforts to raise awareness and build a strong conservation community working to protect Virginia Mountain Treasure (VMT) areas in the George Washington National Forest. Mountain Treasures are key areas identified across the Forest which need stronger protection because they provide high quality recreational opportunities, critical habitat for our wildlife, clean water for communities, precious old growth forests, or other special values. With the help and expertise of those at Virginia Forest Watch, the publication Virginia’s Mountain Treasures: The Unprotected Wildlands of the George Washington National Forest will soon be released by ourselves and a coalition of groups. We are selecting a handful of these areas to be “adopted” by ordinary citizens or citizens’ groups. The project will be a partnership between Virginia Forest Watch and citizen adopters. With our efforts, adopted areas are more likely to receive protection from logging, roadbuilding, and mineral development and more likely to receive permanent recognition as specially designated areas. We eventually hope to expand the program and build a network of adopters across western Virginia.

Brief “Job” Description. Intern will collect photos, images, music, data, and other materials from staff, friends of VAFW and other sources, and create one or more DVDs for use in VAFW presentations. Intern will, for a short period of time, go into the field for the purpose of reconnaissance, photographing and collecting information on one or two Virginia Mountain Treasure areas. An outline and other support will be provided. The DVD(s) will highlight the unique values of selected Virginia Mountain Treasure areas on the George Washington National Forest (GWNF), threats to these areas, the need to protect wild areas and backcountry areas in general, and ways the public can get involved efforts to protect them, including the VAFW Adopt-a-Virginia Mountain Treasure initiative. Pictures, music, personal stories and ecological insights will be incorporated in the final product in a compelling way. The final product will be used as the centerpiece of VAFW presentations promoting the Adopt-a-VMT program in local communities in order to seek local volunteers. The DVD will also be a flexible tool that other individuals or groups can use to promote appreciation and protection of Virginia's National Forests. A presentation kit with talking points and publicity tools will also be produced.


Skills/Qualifications needed: Extensive editing, powerpoint, & DVD-making experience and/or interactive media production; good messaging expertise; able to work in all commonly used formats and convert to various formats; expertise with applicable software; photographic ability; strong interest in promoting outdoor recreation, forest conservation and protection, volunteerism, and citizen stewardship in the GWNF region; students in communications fields and related technical fields preferred.


Training: VAFW staff and boardmembers have over fifteen years experience working on natural area protection efforts within Virginia’s national forests. VAFW will provide a training session that includes: a brief overview from VAFW staff and boardmembers and others on previous national scenic area, wilderness, and protective efforts in the commonwealth of Virginia; the George Washington national forest plan revision; goals for the project, and tools.

Timeline: Summer of 2008.
